I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 297 All Good Actors

"Mr. Zhang, welcome."

Qin Muchu smiled and greeted the woman getting off the car.

If there is any actress in China who can compare with Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi in mainland China is catching up, but there is still a long way to go.

And Hong Kong Island has a ready-made one-Zhang Manyu.

(ps: The change in the timeline of this world did not make Zhang Manyu younger, it just lost some works)
Whether it is international awards or domestic awards, they are no less than Gong Li, and even surpassed.

And compared to Gong Li, her acting career is broader, she can act in dramas as well as comedies.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, wow, you are really like Qing Qingxia said, you are more handsome than those on TV."

Zhang Manyu didn't put on airs and was very relaxed.

It was looking at Qin Muchu with eager and curious eyes.

I am amazed in my heart, like Qingxia and Zunlong

Zunlong's status in the minds of this group of Hong Kong actresses, how to put it, is almost equal to Kunkun in a certain station in the future.

"Haha, you won the prize."

Qin Muchu was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the monkeys in the zoo. He even felt that Zhang Manyu wanted to come up and touch him.

Speaking of Zhang Manyu's role, it was recommended by Lin Qingxia. Originally, she recommended herself, but she couldn't spare time due to emergency.

"Let's go in."

After finishing speaking, she took Zhang Manyu to the set.

When they arrived at the set, Zhang Manyu greeted the actors without Qin Muchu's introduction, and said "Sorry, I'm late", with a very low posture.

In fact, she doesn't have many scenes. If all goes well, the filming can be finished in two days.

And to be honest, her role is not very good at acting, only slightly better than Yang Mi's role.

But there is a very important scene, which is the brightest moment of the whole movie. She has to be a green leaf for Mr. You, not only to catch Mr. You's scene, but also to set off the "red flower" of Mr. You more beautifully .

This is not easy.

"Director Qin, where should I go for makeup?"

After a simple greeting, Zhang Manyu was ready to go to work.

"The makeup is next door... just wait a moment."

Qin Muchu changed his tone, went to the side and took out a notebook from his bag, opened it and called up a video.

"You still have to play for a while. While you're making up time, you can watch the edited parts of the previous shooting and experience the style."

He handed the notebook to Zhang Manyu.

There are movie clips that he has edited these days. Although they are not completely coherent, they are not bad.

"Huh? You filmed and edited at the same time?"

Zhang Manyu was a little surprised.

This model is a bit like Hong Kong Island 20 years ago, where the script was edited while filming, and the movie was released as soon as possible.

But she didn't say much, took the notebook with curiosity, and followed the staff who came over to the dressing room.

The arrival of Zhang Manyu did not cause much sensation in the crew, no matter how old the actor or actress was, they had seen all of them.

At most, I can say with emotion: the director is really good, and he invited another actress.

Only one actor was a little nervous-Liu Yijun.

He is not well-known, and Qin Muchu has no impression of him. The reason why he was able to enter the group was recommended by Teacher Cui. This is also his old senior, Yan Ying's 87th class.

Qin Muchu tried the play, and it was not bad, so he agreed.

He plays the role of a male doctor, but from Mr. You's point of view, he occasionally plays his ex-son-in-law as a cameo.

That is the role of Chen Daomin.

When the last actor of the crew joined the crew, and he was still a big star like Zhang Manyu, his pressure reached its peak.

Not to mention Mr. You, he can be called a living fossil in the entertainment industry in China. Even if Li Xuejian saw it, he would respectfully call out for the existence of the teacher.

Chen Daomin and Gong Li, these two can be described as an emperor and an empress.

Right now, the last actor is a big shot like Zhang Manyu.

The main characters are all at the level of starting actor and actress.

He seemed out of place in it.

This feeling is especially strong today.

because……

Liu Yijun glanced around, but couldn't find the familiar figure, so he walked up to Qin Muchu and asked:
"Director Qin, Mimi didn't come today?"

……

[Iraq Entertainment]
In the reception room, Yang Mi warmly greeted the man opposite to sit down.

"Director Teng, sit down."

For a director who doesn't even have this script and said "I have to play the female lead", if it was changed to before, she would definitely think that the other party has some bad intentions.

But now there will be no such concerns.

Because this person was seen at the celebration banquet of "Inception" and "Kung Fu" that night, sitting in the Beijing circle.

It should be of no status, sitting in the corner.

It's not that the status of sitting in the corner must not be high, maybe they are low-key.

But the boss laughed and he laughed too, and then clapped "papa", a member of the atmosphere group.

In other words, since this person knew her identity, he would naturally not be obsessed with ghosts.

"Teacher Yang……"

"Just call me Yang Mi."

"Okay, Yang Mi."

Teng Huatao immediately changed his words and said sincerely:

"The movie I mentioned last time, what do you think about it? I really sincerely hope that you can play the heroine."

"Director Teng, I have read the original novel, and I also like the character of Huang Xiaoxian very much. I am willing to take over this drama."

Yang Mi was so moved that she didn't even ask how much she was paid.

Although it is useless to ask, she is not very valuable in the film industry.

But she feels that this movie can be popular, especially the character Huang Xiaoxian in it... Well, she has a personality and is independent, very similar to her.

Then he asked:
"I just don't know, when will our movie script be available, and when will we start shooting?"

Teng Huatao's expression became a little unnatural, and he coughed twice:
"In fact, there has always been a difficulty in our drama... But, with you in the group, this difficulty is nothing."

Seeing Teng Huatao's hesitation, Yang Mi moved her eyes and guessed:
"Director Teng, is it lack of investment?"

"Uh, this one is actually not bad. Our movie is not a big production, and it can be made for not much money."

Teng Huatao shook his head.

Although he is not a great director, he has been deeply involved in the TV industry for many years. Although he has not had any particularly popular TV series, his achievements are not bad.

He estimated that the cost of this film would not exceed 1000 million, which is not a lot of money, and he could barely make it with scraping together.

"What's the difficulty?"

Yang Mi looked at the shy Teng Huatao and asked.

Then Teng Huatao said something that shocked Yang Mi, an old drama player who has been in the industry for more than ten years:
"Uh, this, I didn't take the copyright of the film and television adaptation of the novel."

"..."

Yang Mi stared at Teng Huatao with wide eyes.

If she hadn't checked his information in advance and knew that he was a director with a work, she would have called the security guard to fork him out, and splashed the coffee on the table in his face before he was forked out.

No copyright, are you talking to me?
Isn't this bullshit?
I didn't do that when I got on the bus first and then paid for the fare.

"Director Teng, are you kidding me?"

Yang Mi managed to maintain her dignity in the end.

Naturally, Teng Huatao saw Yang Mi's almost stiff smile, and felt a little embarrassed, and quickly explained:
"Mr. Yang, if you join in this copyright, it will be easy to handle. The copyright is in the hands of Director Qin..."

Yang Mi froze for a moment, the anger in her heart gradually extinguished.

The copyright is in the hands of the boyfriend?
Her first reaction was that the movie was still her own business.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Teng Huatao on the opposite side.

So, it's not because of my excellence that I was asked to play the heroine, but this is the reason why "I have to play the heroine"?

……

"Ka, yes, it's over."

Qin Muchu said into the walkie-talkie.

The crew should immediately place props for props, make up for makeup, and prepare for the next scene.

Zhang Manyu didn't have any of her plays this morning, she had already watched them all morning.

The efficiency of the crew is amazing.

Almost every scene is shot once, and it is rare to shoot it twice.

When she was young, she made movies on Hong Kong Island at this speed, but that was because the director wanted to be quick and didn't pay much attention to quality.

But the scene between Gong Li and Mr. You in the morning is definitely the best.

On the spot, I can only see the acting skills of the actors, but after watching Qin Muchu's edited version, with the addition of brilliance, camera, etc., the acting skills of the actors are much stronger against each other.

Every frame is an explosion of acting skills.

She thought that such a work should be done very slowly, bit by bit.

Not to mention like Wang Jiawei, but there must be half of Wang Jiawei anyway.

But at the current speed, Wang Jing called it an expert after seeing it.

How can an art film be shot so fast?
"Sister Manyu, today's filming is a bit faster. Originally, your third scene in the afternoon has to be changed to the first scene. Tomorrow's scene will also be postponed to today. Then we have to switch to another set, okay? ?”

Qin Muchu came over with a smile on his face.

The filming was surprisingly fast this morning, and ten scenes were filmed in one morning. If Zhang Manyu works hard in the afternoon, it is very likely to break the crew's record of twenty scenes in one day.

After hearing Qin Muchu's words, Zhang Manyu was a little less shocked.

It turned out to be today's special envoy, and the filming was fast.

"no problem."

She said.

There is no arrangement for filming in Hong Kong Island at all, and the director will shoot whenever he says.

Still curious though:

"How many scenes can you shoot in a normal day?"

Qin Muchu thought for a while and said:

"Not necessarily. It depends on the state of the old man. When he gets tired, we won't shoot. If we finish work at 04:30 in the afternoon, we can probably shoot about fifteen scenes..."

After a pause, he smiled and said:

"The teachers are all top actors, and the shooting is not bad, and the speed is not bad."

"..."

Zhang Manyu suddenly felt the pressure.

Originally, she had such a small role, so she just came to play a cameo, and by the way, let's see what Lin Qingxia said about the combination of her and Zunlong.

But now, she really felt that she had to go all out.

Not only do you go all out to perform the trick well, but you also have to go all out to perform it well once.

……

A nursing home in Yanjing.

The nursing home is built very high-end, and the greening is well done. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the trees are full of forests, which is full of vitality.

A group of people are walking on the tree-lined path covered with soft turf.

"Everything here is built according to the highest international standards, every escort has undergone the most professional training, and the doctors are also authoritative experts at home and abroad as consultants..."

The manager of the nursing home was introducing the nursing home to Qin Muchu and others. Perhaps out of professional habits, he was talking a bit like a salesman.

Qin Muchu believed the manager's words, not only because of the good environment of the nursing home, but also because his voice was soft when he spoke.

It can be heard clearly, but it doesn't feel noisy.

Quietness and peace are the themes of the nursing home.

He didn't bring many people to this scene, except for a few leading actors, he also brought two photographers and two makeup artists.

After all, this is a nursing home, and he doesn't want to make a big fuss and cause discomfort to others.

After a while, the manager brought Qin Muchu and the others to their studio.

A vacant house.

The decoration inside is similar to "daughter's house". It doesn't feel like a ward, but like a hotel.

"I won't bother."

The manager took them here and politely said goodbye.

And Qin Muchu immediately directed the photographers to start setting up the camera positions.

The upcoming filming is the rival scene between Zhang Manyu and Mr. You. They have already been taken by the makeup artist to make up and change clothes.

"Xiao Qin, in a nursing home of this level, the crew should not be allowed to come in to film."

Gong Li looked around and asked.

There is absolutely nothing to say about the facilities of the nursing home, and she also believes that what the manager said is true, but this also means that the charging price of the nursing home is definitely not affordable by ordinary people.

In fact, this place is really hard to find. Ma Debiao found many houses that did not meet Qin Muchu's requirements.

Originally, Qin Muchu planned to set up a studio to shoot if he couldn't find it, but in the end there was a turning point:
"The owner of this house contacted us when he heard about the theme of our movie, and was willing to provide the venue and redecorate the house according to our requirements."

Qin Muchu looked at the wallpaper in the room, it was all newly pasted, and it wasn't originally the light blue it is now.

"No money, I just hope I can make a good movie."

Gong Li nodded in understanding, which showed that she was right to accept the movie.

A good movie should have this kind of power.

"Director Qin, everything is ready, see if you want to change it."

The makeup artist came over to remind me.

Qin Muchu looked at the old man and Zhang Manyu. One was wearing pajamas and the other was wearing a nursing uniform. They were both from nursing homes.

There is no complicated makeup, the main thing is that the facial features are clearer when shooting with shadows.

nodded:

"Okay, get ready..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang suddenly, it was Yang Mi.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I'm outside the nursing home and can't get in."

Qin Muchu raised his eyebrows, wondering what Yang Mi was doing here.

But still said:
"Wait a minute, I'll send someone to pick you up."

After a while, Yang Mi was picked up by someone sent by Qin Muchu.

But it's not just Yang Mi, there is also a middle-aged man.

"Director Qin, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"

Before Qin Muchu asked, Teng Huatao graciously stepped forward and held Qin Muchu's hand.

"Hello."

Qin Muchu smiled awkwardly and pulled out his hand at the same time.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he even wanted to wipe it off with a towel.

He looked at Yang Mi.

This person smiles so deeply, who is it?
