Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 24: Building a crew and making an appointment with Xiao Fan (3400 words, please follow up)

Xiao Fan, who is only 19 years old, has a slim and stylish figure, and every part of her body feels just right.

Especially her face, which is naturally charming and charming, is unique among mainland actresses and is very distinctive.

Even her little feet are eye-catching... Before I went out, I took a special look. They were really white, tender and small!
  "Ha, I really want to raise her as my goddaughter..." Xing Baizhou shook his head and smiled, "But she is one year older than me, what a pity!"

……

Huayi downstairs.

Xu Qing stood in front of him with bulging arms and asked, "Is she better-looking or am I better-looking?"

Xing Baizhou quickly got into the car without thinking: "Sister Qing must be good-looking, how can Xiao Fan compare with Sister Qing!?"

"Hey, we just met Xiao Fan and Xiao Fan called me?" Xu Qing twisted her butt and got into the car, "All men have the same virtues."

"Hey, I'm so hungry... Go back and cook. I want to eat your noodles." Xing Baizhou hugged her without any doubt.

"Are my noodles that delicious? Why do I feel so ordinary?" Xu Qing's not very bright mind was instantly confused.

"Of course it's delicious. Sister Qing's bottom is amazing."

"You brat, are you trying to make me happy?" With a fierce expression like a little tiger, she started the car with a smile and stepped on the accelerator.

"No, I told the truth. I really want to eat the noodles made by Sister Qing. Look, your stomach is already growling with hunger."

"Hmph, change the subject, I remember it... If I catch you and Xiao Fan, then from now on..."

"What's next?"

"Just, just... don't let you eat my food, hum! I won't tell you anymore, I want to concentrate on driving."

……

in the afternoon.

Nortel, Performance Department Conference Room.

The interview scene for the cast of "On the Road".

Director Xing Baizhou, producer Wang Jinsong and supervisor Huang Sanshi are sitting in the main seats interviewing the registered students.

The crew, producers and supervisors formed this time were all designated by Director Liu of the Performance Department.

Huang Sanshi is now the class teacher of the 1997 Performance Department. His students include Hai Qing, Huang Haibo and Li Jie.

He originally didn't want to come because the one who was in the limelight was level 2000, which had nothing to do with his level 1997.

But the director spoke.

He couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue. At present, he already had the intention of being a salted fish.

For this movie, except for the actors who could be chosen from outside, everyone else had to be chosen from students.

After all, Nortel paid out 200 million.

It's okay to give her a little autonomy.

But Xing Baizhou didn't work as a wage earner either. He invested in the company as a screenwriter and director for 300 million, which was a huge deal for Nortel.

Because of this, many professors and teachers objected, "Why is Xing Baizhou worth 300 million?"

After the principal found out...

He slapped the table directly at the regular meeting, "I made seven or eight million in my last movie, how come it's not worth three million in your film?"

For a time, no one dared to mention this matter.

As for why the principal supports Xing Baizhou in this way, it is mainly due to three considerations.

First, the money is not paid by the principal himself, but is deducted from the school's funds. It doesn't feel bad at all.

The second is to give students the opportunity to practice. This kind of practical activity with real swords and guns is very rare.

The third is to show it to the leaders.

After all, when writing the year-end summary, you have to come up with something tangible. If the movie is successful, then Nortel will be in the limelight.

By the time,
  Don't let the Chinese dramas envy you to death?

Now the principal of Nortel is more nervous than Xing Baizhou. Once this project fails, losing money is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal!

In the future, when I go out to have dinner with the principal of China National Theater, I will probably be ridiculed at the dinner table: "I just admire your bold innovation and unafraid of failure at Nortel, hahaha!"

It’s embarrassing to think about it…

Thinking of this, the principal couldn't hold back his anger at all, so he simply picked up his fan and went straight to the performance department.

at this time.

Halfway through the interview.

A student familiar to Xing Baizhou came in.

"Teacher Wang, Director Xing, hello. My name is Ning Hao. I graduated from the Photography Department in 99 and am good at screenwriting and photography..."

Seeing Ning Hao, Xing Baizhou immediately thought of five words - "China Entertainment Tool Man". Today, he must be recruited.

"Senior Ning, your resume is excellent. Please wait for me to notify you tonight." Xing Baizhou was determined before Wang Jinsong and Huang Sanshi could speak.

This is his first appointment today.

The two teachers looked at him in surprise, but said nothing because Ning Hao's resume was indeed good.

After graduating from technical secondary school, he worked as a stage designer at the Taiyuan Repertory Troupe. Later, he was admitted to the Department of Art of Beijing Normal University to study directing, and then to the Department of Photography of Nortel...

There is no lack of experience or experience.

It also makes sense to be a photographer.

Soon, all the interviews for photography, lighting, makeup, scene notes and other staff were completed, and then the interviews for actors began.

There are not many named characters in this drama. Apart from the two protagonists, there are only six women and two men.

Currently.

Gong Li is tentatively cast to play the protagonist's wife.

Fan Xiaopang plays a "female liar".

This role is the most challenging. Xiao Fan actively asked to play her. It seems that this girl really wants to improve!

There are five remaining characters, namely the protagonist’s mistress, sexy young woman, male and female salesmen and a young backpacker.

"Hello teacher, hello director, my name is Yao Chen... an undergraduate student in the 99th grade acting class, good at..."

"My name is Huang Haibo..."

"Ling Xiaosu, undergraduate in the 99th acting class..."

"..."

Xing Baizhou looked at them one by one.

Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, Che Xiao, Dong Ao, Hai Qing, Du Chun... good guys, I knew quite a few of them from my previous life.

soon.

After receiving all the resumes, the screening process begins. Of course, this step cannot be decided by him alone.

Just then, the principal walked in.

"Is everyone busy?"

"Principal..." "Sit down, I've got nothing to do and I'm here to take a look. I hope I won't disturb you." After a pause, he walked to Xing Baizhou's side and said, "The young man is really nice..."

Huang Sanshi: "Xiao Xing is very good, calm and capable. I admire him very much after working with him these past few days."

This guy……

You didn't speak much before, but now you talk a lot when the principal comes?

Wang Jinsong smiled and said: "Xiao Xing is indeed very good. The crew and arrangements are very good. The key is that he is also very good at writing scripts and directing..."

Principal: "Haha, okay! I've read the script. It's very good. I hope you can make a movie that is both deep and popular. I will show it to the boss..."

Before leaving.

The principal pulled Xing Baizhou over and looked a little nervous: "Xiao Xing, are you confident that you can take the picture well? Do you need me to find foreign aid to help you?"

Xing Baizhou smiled: "Don't worry, principal, this movie will definitely be more popular than "Twelve Citizens"."

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved... You take good photos. If the money is not enough..." Gritting his teeth, the principal said, "Just tell me and I will find a way to solve it."

"Thank you Principal!"

Exited the performance department building.

The principal thought for a moment.

Then he turned around and walked towards the directing department.

When he arrived at the interview site for the directing department, he changed his anxious look and showed the momentum of a principal: "Old Li, shoot well, don't waste the school's 50!"

……

night.

The cast list is out.

According to the principle of equal distribution, people at levels 97-00 will be recruited.

Zhang Songwen plays a backpacker, Dong Ao plays a sexy young woman, Hai Qing plays a mistress, Che Xiao and Zhou Yiwei play a copycat mobile phone salesman, and Ning Hao serves as a photographer...

Xing Baizhou called a meeting with everyone on the crew that night to announce the next shooting plan.

"Dear seniors, today is October 10th, and we don't have much time left... I hope the movie will be completed by the end of the month."

"what?"

"So fast?!"

"Junior, is the time too short? Can only 20 days be enough?"

"..."

This group of academic students, who have been working on a project in school for more than half a year, are now a little confused when they are asked to complete it in 20 days.

The little beauty Dong Gao also raised her hand and asked softly: "Director Xing, is it too fast?"

Hai Qing also expressed the same opinion, only Ning Hao, the old god, sat there and nodded silently.

"Five days of preparation and 5 days of shooting are enough. In fact, it is rare to have the opportunity to complete a movie quickly. Since everyone can participate, I definitely want to learn more..."

Xing Baizhou looks like a university professor.

He doesn't look like a freshman in college at all.

At this time, everyone in the meeting felt a sense of sincere admiration as they listened to his eloquent talk.

Maybe this is leadership…

When a person's ability is strong enough, others will unconsciously ignore his age and identity, thus giving rise to the idea of ​​following him.

Ning Hao looked through the script and kept nodding. When no one spoke, he said: "I agree with Director Xing, 20 days is enough for us to perform."

……

The next day.

The photography, lighting, props, makeup, logistics, external relations, event notes and publicity teams started taking action respectively.

According to the plan, the crew will charter a car on the morning of October 10 and head to Wuhan, the destination of the trip.

In the past two days, Xing Baizhou, besides attending meetings, was drawing storyboard manuscripts in the library. He even turned down invitations from Xu Qing and Gong Li.

I have been busy for two days.

Basically everything is done.

Just when he was about to eat Xu Qingxia's noodles, Fan Xiaopang suddenly called him.

"Director Xing, I'm sorry!"

"Haha, no, no, I'm very happy to receive Sister Fan's call."

"Hehe, are you busy?"

"..."

Xing Baizhou was one year younger than her, so Fan Xiaopang didn't have so many scruples about what he said and unconsciously regarded him as his junior.

These two days.

She had been looking for news about Xing Baizhou on the Internet, and she was really shocked when she saw it.

That sunny boy.

He has already played Lin Pingzhi?
  and.

Even the soundtrack and theme song of "The Swordsman" were composed by him... What kind of genius is this?
  Even more surprising is yet to come.

He first won the Newcomer Award at the Category A Film Festival, and then sold the North American rights. The domestic box office reached 1200 million, firmly occupying the top five in the current domestic film box office list...

What kind of new devil is this?
  Even the new movie "On the Road" was personally signed and funded by the president of Nortel.

Just ask.

How many people can do it?
  Even Zhang Yimou, Chen Shi, Feng Xiaogang and others were not so awesome when they were young, right?

"His height in the future will be unfathomable... How long will it take if I don't hug my thighs now?" Xiao Fan was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and thinking.

Born in a family of ordinary cadres in Qingdao, she also wants to break away from the confines of her family, complete her life transformation, and become a top-notch star in the entertainment industry who is loved by everyone.

But with no capital, no background, and no beauty, she knew that long-term development in this industry was not easy.

Maybe one day I will be unspoken by a pot-bellied investor... Instead of that, why not date my handsome younger brother.

Now, there is such a talented brother appearing, and he is very in line with her aesthetics... It would be a restraint not to take the initiative to repost!
  ……

East City.

Midnight tavern.

Xing Baizhou and Fan Xiaopang sat opposite each other.

tonight.

Xiao Fan was wearing a tight green T-shirt and a pair of simple ripped denim shorts on her legs. Her exposed calves were so white that they shone brightly.

Xing Baizhou stared at her for a few seconds and sighed to himself: "This girl has been in the industry for so many years. There are really not many people in the domestic entertainment industry who can beat her."

Even with light makeup, you can still see the unique beauty in her charming eyes...she really looks like a little fox!

"Director Xing, thank you for taking care of me. I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine!" Fan Xiaopang picked up the wine glass with his delicate hands and smiled shyly.
