Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 304 Brother Jiang listens to Brother Nuo
After seeing off the guests at WLMQ International Airport, Tong Liya returned to the city with the district and city leaders.

That evening, the district's top leader came out and had a meal together with her and the staff who participated in the reception.

Although until the end, none of the people in charge of reception got any accurate information from foreign guests or domestic VIPs.

No one knows whether it will succeed or not, or whether the effect will be that good after it succeeds, and whether it can really bring increased tourism revenue to the local area.

No one said it was bad.

However, on this day, there were still many people who came to the banquet to toast and chat with Tong Liya.

Because the senior leader mentioned her in his speech before the banquet, and used the word "worthy of being the good children of XJ".

In this case, it was fortunate that Tong Liya had been drinking since she was a child and had a very good alcohol tolerance, otherwise she would definitely not have lasted until the end of the banquet.

At this banquet, sitting at the same table with her were the leaders and actors from her former unit.

Sitting on her left was a Uyghur girl, who was her junior in the dance troupe.

This Uyghur girl is about 17 or 8 years old, with a plump figure, big eyes and a high nose bridge. She is unforgettable. Even in XJ, which is full of beautiful women, she is considered one of the most beautiful.

The girl sitting next to her was obviously a little shy when she saw the senior member of the group, and she didn't say much.

It was not until the end that she politely greeted Tong Liya and asked her a few questions with a nervous look on her face.

Tong Liya answered truthfully.

She said that the Beijing Film Academy has really valued appearance in recent years, and although the professors at the Central Academy of Drama ridiculed it as "wishful thinking", for girls with outstanding appearance, the chances of passing the exam are indeed very high.

However, she still wants to give some advice: it is hard to say what the teaching level of Beijing Film Academy is.

For example, she had gone to the Beijing Film Academy to watch the 05 graduation drama. Except for the last two minutes when the whole audience cheered, the performances of the other actors were just so-so.

Therefore, if you really want to develop into an actor, the first choice is still the Central Academy of Drama, where you can learn real skills.

As for the Shanghai Theatre Academy... this school is not bad. After all, it is in Shanghai, an international metropolis. If you really have nowhere else to go, you can give it a try.

After saying this, with the other party expressing their gratitude, the celebration banquet was almost over.

As for whether this little girl named Dilraba Dilmurat would eventually do the same as her and resign to go to Beijing or Shanghai to take exams, Tong Liya didn't know.

Just like which direction her future will turn, she currently doesn't know.

After leaving the hotel, Tong Liya went home with her parents who were attending the meeting.

Her father said earnestly in the tribe's language, "You are not young anymore. If you don't have any movies to shoot, you should come back to our XJ. The big boss has mentioned your name this time. It will be no problem for you to find a good job in WLMQ. It's not bad to have a stable job and a boyfriend. If you are willing, Dad will ask someone for you. What do you think?"

Tong Liya was a little hesitant.

She is not an ambitious person. She went to study abroad to see the outside world. Now she has seen it. If she really comes back to Xinjiang, she can find a stable job and consider getting married and having children in the future.

After all, the company she signed with didn't seem to care about her at all. She had already graduated and there were no movies to shoot. It was impossible for her to say that she was not panicking.

The main reason was that the acting students of their class were facing more pressure than those of previous classes. Many opportunities in various crews were snatched away by the class of 05 from Beijing Film Academy.

The reason for this can only be said to be that when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.

But these newcomers from other schools really have no choice.

After thinking for a while, Tong Liya simply nodded and agreed in front of her parents' pleased eyes.

For more than two weeks after that, she stayed at home in WLMQ City, eating and drinking as if it were her summer vacation. She didn't think about anything and was quite relaxed.

She hadn't found a job yet, but that night, she suddenly received a phone call.

It’s 10pm, and although it’s still light in XJ, it’s already late at night in the mainland.
What could be the matter that Zhou Ge, the agent arranged by Xingfu Lanhai to look for her at this time?

When I picked up the phone, the first words from the other end were: "My dear aunt, you hid it so well. You didn't even tell me such a big thing."

Tong Liya listened for a while and understood what the other party was talking about, so she explained the whole story sincerely on the phone.

However, Brother Zhou over there didn't bring any letter. After knowing on the phone that she was still in WLMQ, he asked her to return to BJ as soon as possible to discuss the plan.

Tong Liya agreed verbally, but she really didn't take it seriously.

What big plans are there? After graduation, she has heard this more than once or twice, but in the end, she still has nothing to show for it.

But this time, I want it to be different.

Two days later she got another call.

Brother Zhou's voice was unusually excited: "It's settled. Jiang Wen still hasn't decided on a role for the drama he's filming. It just so happens that our company has an investment, so I've made an appointment for you. Go there for an audition at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Get ready, and I'll pick you up then."

Tong Liya was stunned for a moment.

"Why aren't you talking? Hey, hey, hey. Don't say you don't like it. If it weren't for the coincidence of the timing, the role wouldn't have been decided yet, and your connections weren't there. You wouldn't even dream of getting this role. Do you know who the big names are? All the biggest names from mainland China and Hong Kong that you can think of are in it. Tong Liya, don't scare me, say something!"

Tong Liya calmed down and said calmly: "Brother Zhou, I was wrong. I shouldn't have let my imagination run wild. I'm still in WLMQ. Do you think it's too late for me to buy a plane ticket and come back right away?"

then.

Tong Liya held the phone farther away to avoid the dirty words coming from the other side.

Chen Nuo had never realized so clearly that he was really a vulgar person.

Too vulgar.

He had only been in the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" for three days and he really wanted to leave.

No matter where you go, heaven or hell, mountains of swords or seas of fire.

In short, find a place with women, don't stay in this Buddhist temple and wait to die.

I can’t bear it, really.

Although he was mentally prepared before coming. This is a big man's play.

But the time has come.

He realized that he would rather spend 100 years talking about love with Liu Yifei under the hawthorn tree, or spend three days and three nights making love with Fan Binbing in bed or in the kitchen.

I don't want to face the ugly faces of these men here.

The eldest is Zhang Muzhi and Jiang Wen, the second is Shao Bing, the third is Liao Fan, the fourth is a copy of Andy Lau and Du Yiheng, the fifth is Zhang Mo, the seventh is the editor of this drama Wei Xiao, and including him, they are all fucking men, and there is not even a thirteenth sister.

If he had come two days earlier, he might have been able to take a few more glances at the charming and seductive Sister Jialing.

But, who made him delay for a few days? When he arrived, only the bandits were left.

The day he arrived, he walked around shaking hands and greeting people for a long time, but didn't see many females.

This is Qi Yuntian’s paradise, but also his hell.

At first it didn't matter.
Because he was still intoxicated by the afterglow of his trip to the grassland with Tong Liya, and he had also received a call from Da Mi with a humming, sticky, and feminine voice.

Yang Mi had a lot to complain about on the phone at that time.

First of all, the release of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", following her previous drama "An Xiang", also showed signs of failure.

The reason is that the producer, Cai Yinong, the female boss of Tangren Film and Television, wanted to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" the same as "The Return of the Condor Heroes" back then, starting with the first round of sales on local TV stations to build up a good reputation, and then sell it at a good price in the second round of negotiations for satellite broadcasting, thus maximizing the profits of the show.

As it turns out, not to mention The Return of the Condor Heroes, even The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 is inferior, and it can't even match the popularity of Mango TV's Let's Watch the Meteor Shower.

Although the latter was mocked by the crowd for claiming to be a rich kid just because he drives a Hyundai car, the copycat version of Shancai played by Zheng Shuang was really sauerkraut. Compared with a certain authentic Japanese Shancai, it was simply disgusting.

But in Da Mi's eyes, being scolded is also a proof of popularity.

Therefore, the arrogant Yang Mi was so angry that she yelled at Ms. Cai on the phone, asking if she had a problem with her brain.

Although Yang Mi is 100% better than Liu Yifei, what is Hu Ge?

What about Liu Shishi and her ilk who are holding the team back?
Now the public opinions on the Internet are saying that the much anticipated Legend of Sword and Fairy III has failed without any sound, which makes her so angry that she can't sleep well at night.

The second thing is that Da Mi is really famous now. Even though "Legend of Sword and Fairy" failed, she is still very popular. But the follow-up thing is that she is too busy.

It can be said that she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to drink water. Her schedule is scheduled from now until next year. After finishing filming "Beauty's Secret", she will immediately start filming the well-known and highly anticipated "Dream of Red Mansions".

In addition, there are three or four other big productions.

The only annoying and regrettable thing is that the good roles she got were almost all TV series, not even a single movie.

I don’t know what her current agency is doing. Why can’t she get a good movie despite her fame?

She really wants to change companies.

So excuse me, in this situation, will Huan Ranxin really not sign her?

Likewise, the third thing is also related to this.

The one who is filming with her now is called Zhao Liying.

She had been filming with her for about ten days.

I just want to say, how is that high school graduate surnamed Zhao better than Yang, who graduated from a professional school and has a genuine Beijing Film Academy background? Your company signed this extra, so why do you say NO to me?

Chen Nuo was overwhelmed by all the questions he heard, so he just said, "I have something to do. I'll hang up now."

He just hung up the phone on Yang Mi.

Thinking about it now, I really regret it.

To be honest, Da Mi's voice is really a bit soul-stirring. If you don't believe it, close your eyes and find an interview and just listen to it without watching it. Try it and you will know.

Having not cherished Da Mi in the beginning, now in this desert of women and forest of men, Chen Nuo only had one thought in his mind:
Hurry up and shoot, the sooner you finish, the sooner you leave.

But, what is annoying is that

He is very anxious, but some people are not.

It's so leisurely and relaxing that it doesn't look like he's filming a movie. It's more like he's on vacation, as if the investors' money is his travel fund.

This morning, it took Chen Nuo almost 30 minutes to put on her makeup.

Only then did I see Jiang Wen waving his hands and coming to work like an old man traveling.

He looked around the scene, pointed here and there, gestured there, and hesitated for a long time before walking over to him. As if he had just seen him, he greeted him and asked, "Nuozi, are you ready so early? Okay, wait a little longer and we'll start shooting."

Chen Nuo wanted to hold it back, but he couldn't help it any longer. "Brother Wen, what time is it now?"

"It's past 9 o'clock. What's wrong?"

"What time did we plan to start work?"

"9 points."

"So you're late, aren't you?"

"Ah?" "Ah what? Brother Wen, I'm telling you that filming is a job that requires a rigorous attitude. You can't just shoot whenever you want and take a break whenever you want. There are so many of us working together, and you're the leader. If you're more efficient, everyone else's efficiency will be much higher. A little bit of sand makes a mountain, and we can save a lot of money, don't you think?"

As the co-producer, partner of Bu Yi Le He, and businessman who raised funds for the film, Ma Ke was stunned at first when he heard Chen Nuo's words, and gradually, his eyes became slightly red.

Brother Nuo, it still has to be Brother Nuo.

No wonder he is not very old, but many people in the circle call him "brother".

Not only are there various honors,
Similarly, it is true that he does not tolerate anyone, whether it is heaven or earth, fans or Jiang Wen.

He just blurted out what he had been holding back for nearly ten days!

Actually, there are still many roles in "Let the Bullets Fly" that have not been decided yet.

For example, among all the female roles in the film, only one, Miao Pu, has been confirmed, while the others, including the main character, Sister Hua, and various actors are still undecided.

Even one of the three main characters, the biggest villain Huang Silang, is still waiting for a response from Hong Kong's Chow Yun-fat.

As a result, the casting work has not been completed yet. Why can't they wait to start filming secretly on July 7st?
Isn't it that once the preliminary preparations are completed and the funds are in place, we can't wait any longer?

If you wait one more day, you will have to pay one more day’s salary and interest on funds. When accumulated over time, this amount cannot be underestimated.

So start the machine ahead of time, keep pace with the times, compress time, improve efficiency and avoid overspending.

These principles have been discussed in meetings when we all sat together.

As a result, once a certain artist starts working, he is always in a leisurely and slow manner. It is impossible for him to be on time, and working overtime is even more of a dream.

There are only a few shots every day, and we finish work immediately after shooting, never adding even a minute more.

He was really helpless about it.

Not to mention him, Hong Kong Eagle King and Happy Blue Ocean also have a bunch of producers and supervisors on the scene.

Especially on the Eagle King side, it is well known that Boss Yang lost all his money in "The Sun Also Rises", so he is counting on this drama to make a profit.

Someone also said that this drama was made to make money and repay favors.

The result was still the same in the end. If we were to say who was the most annoyed, it would definitely be the Eagle King.

But, who dares to stand up and teach this gentleman a lesson, so that he can cheer up and film properly from 8 am to 6 pm?
nobody.

It's not that I really don't dare to say it,

But...what's the point of saying it?

Who can this old man listen to?

Until now, Ma Ke knew, and everyone else at the scene knew.

It turns out that Brother Jiang listens to Brother Nuo.

After Chen Nuo finished speaking, Jiang Wen actually smiled a little embarrassedly, rubbed his head, and said in a fierce voice: "Okay, then I will be on time next time."

Real men don't talk in a long-winded way, so Chen Nuo didn't say anything more after listening.

As a result, Jiang Wen really turned over a new leaf that day. He stopped procrastinating and just let things go without getting hung up on.

The shooting was very fast and smooth.

However, the next scene to be filmed made Jiang Wen a little troubled and hesitant.

This is the first shot of the entire film "Let the Bullets Fly".

The plot is that Xiao Liuzi lies on the railroad tracks, listening to the sound of the approaching train so that he can inform Zhang Mazi.

The specific play is also very simple. It's about the fool Xiao Liuzi, who first listened in one direction for a while, then found that it was wrong, so he changed the direction and listened again.

The key is the moment when the direction changes and the head turns, Chen Nuo's entire face appears in the camera all at once, which serves as the opening of the entire movie.

This is the shot that Jiang Wen designed after much thought.

Sounds quite familiar.

If Zhang Yiyi knew about Jiang Wen's plan, he would think it was similar to his mute, where the first shot was Chen Nuo getting beaten.

Including Chen Kexin and Nolan, they let the supporting role Chen Nuo appear before the main character.

Because every director, whether he is a professional or not, will be clear about one thing during the filming process.

Movies are not just about telling stories, sometimes they are more like a painting.

Whether someone is likable or not may depend on whether they are beautiful at first sight and whether they can attract people's attention.

If you give a good impression at first sight, it will have a multiplier effect on the entire movie.

Jiang Wen originally thought so, and wanted to save Chen Nuo's face and take the initiative.

But when he sat behind the monitor and called out "Start!" into the intercom,
Chen Nuo began a performance that made Jiang Wen worried.

Chen Nuo acted so seriously. It can be said that every move was meticulous, and every move was based on the script and the director's requirements, showing his 120% skill as a graduate of Beijing Film Academy.

In the script, Xiao Liuzi is a fool who has not received much education, does not know a few words, and cannot even tell the directions.

That's why he was later tricked into having his stomach cut open to prove "whether he had eaten one bowl of jelly or two bowls of jelly."

However, let’s not talk about the high-profile Beijing Film Academy graduates, just look at the two awards Chen Nuo won in Europe.

A dumb man helped him take Berlin, a mentally retarded man helped him take Cannes.
Are there any essential differences between these two characters and Xiao Liuzi?

The answer is...no.

So Chen Nuo got excited.

I saw him slowly bending down, putting his ear close to the ground, listening, and stopping on the railroad track for a second.

Although only the back of his head could be seen at this time, the way he stuck to the railroad track made people suddenly feel that this person was a little strange.

Because he pressed his entire ear so hard that it was even a little deformed.

This is absolutely a useless move.

Then, he raised his head, shook it, used his little finger to pick his ears very hard, and shook his head again.
Then he lay back on the tracks and listened again.

It’s still that weird posture where the ears are squeezed and deformed.

When he did it the second time, everyone immediately understood that this person seemed to be a weirdo.

Half a second later, Chen Nuo looked up and looked ahead into the distance.

Although I couldn't see Chen Nuo's face, I could feel his confusion from the back of his head which was slightly tilted to one side, as if he was wondering why?
Why can I hear the sound but not see anything? The train should be coming.

Then, the fool finally turned around.

This time, under the cameraman's close-up shot, Chen Nuo's facial features suddenly entered the picture, filling the monitor in front of Jiang Wen.

He looked directly at the camera with a somewhat dull look in his eyes, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

Obviously, he saw something unexpected.

What did you see?
Jiang Wen felt that if it was an approaching horse-drawn train, it would have a similar effect.

"Card."

I spoke into the intercom.
After that, Jiang Wen wrinkled his eyebrows, nose and mouth, and stared at the viewfinder, beginning to feel troubled.

In fact, he had this feeling for the past few days, but at this time, his feeling was more obvious.

This guy acted like this,
As a result, he was immediately killed by cesarean section?

Can the audience really accept it?
This movie he made is a commercial film, not an unpleasant art film.

In the script, Liuzi's death is played with a trick of first criticizing and then praising, stirring up the audience's indignation towards Huang Silang and others, thus making the final climax more exciting.

but……

Will it be suppressed too much and the box office will be wiped out?

He was not joking with Ma Ke and the others. By making this movie, he, Jiang Wen, was really prepared to make money without any effort.

But...if I continue shooting like this, I will definitely be standing, but can I make money from it?

As a director who had never made a profitable movie, he was really a little unsure.

After he shouted "click", he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.

It is hard to say whether it will be a blessing or a curse if this person continues to act like this.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came out from the side, "Director, do you think his acting is very contrived?"

Caught off guard, Jiang Wen was shocked not only by the voice but also by the words.

When he turned around, he saw two people standing behind him.

A man in his 30s, with a long, thin face and a moustache.

The other one was younger, in his 20s, with a buzz cut, and was imposing and handsome.

They were the two tough guys among the bandits.

"Fanzi?"

The middle-aged man with a short face was looking at the young man next to him in surprise.

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, he came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand and said, "Director, you know me, this is definitely not what I said."

"silent?"

The young man said, "Brother Wen, you've been thinking about it for so long, isn't it because you think his acting is bad? Do you want me to try instead?"

Ps:

Today's exquisite.

Thank you for every subscription~I am so grateful that I can’t express it in words.

I hereby resolve:

Write the book well and update it quickly.

We won’t take a break during the New Year, it’s a deal!
