Chapter 451 Jinling Thirteen Beauties

After the audition, Jiang Changsheng took Liu Yifei and Jing Tian to leave together, and the three of them drove to Jinyu Marriott Hotel, where Zhang Yimou treated guests at noon.

When I came to the reserved private room, there were already three men sitting in it.

Sitting in the middle is Zhang Yimou. On his right is a bald man who looks about the same age as Zhang Yimou. He has a simple temperament. He is Liu Heng, a well-known screenwriter in the circle.

He is the screenwriter of many film and television works such as "Ju Dou", "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin", "Assembly Number", etc. He has won many awards and has a high status in the screenwriting industry.

On Zhang Yimou's left is an acquaintance, Huang Xinmin, one of Zhang Yimou's royal artists, Jiang Changsheng knew him from the hero production team.

Seeing Jiang Changsheng coming in with two beauties, Zhang Yimou got up and said with a smile, "Changsheng, you are finally here. If it was later, I would have thought I was being let down by you."

Jiang Changsheng shook his head: "I just happened to have an audition for a TV drama today, and it was already 12:[-] after the audition, so I hurried over here, it's a bit late."

Zhang Yimou made an appointment for lunch, and it was already 1:25 pm when Jiang Changsheng arrived at the hotel, so he was quite late, so he explained.

But it can't be blamed on Jiang Changsheng. Zhang Yimou invited him temporarily this morning, and Jiang Changsheng's audition itinerary is all set, so it's hard to change it.

Regarding the late arrival, Jiang Changsheng also greeted Zhang Yimou.

Hearing Jiang Changsheng's words, Zhang Yimou waved his hand, "It's not too late, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, and it's because I made an appointment quite suddenly, let's sit and chat."

Jiang Changsheng sat next to Zhang Yimou, and Liu Yifei and Jing Tian sat beside him.

Zhang Yimou told the waiter to serve the food. He knew Jiang Changsheng's personality and didn't like to beat around the bush, so after he was seated, he said directly, "I'm preparing a new movie, and I want to invite Jing Tian to be the heroine."

Jiang Changsheng was a little surprised: "You finished filming your Three Guns Surprise? You are preparing for a new movie so soon."

Zhang Yimou was still a little smug, "Three Guns is a suspenseful comedy. The script has been polished long ago, and the crew has also prepared in advance. I started filming after the Olympics and finished filming last month."

Jiang Changsheng came to his senses, Zhang Yimou's next movie after the three shots was Jinling Thirteen Hairpins. Although this movie was released in 2011, it is said that it took two years to select the characters and various trainings.

After all, it is indeed necessary to prepare now.

When talking about movies, Zhang Yimou was very chatty, and he said with a red face: "The movie I want to make is called Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, which is based on the novel of the same name by Chinese writer Yan Geling.

In my vision, this is a new type of movie, which I call a war epic love movie. "

Jiang Changsheng is speechless, war epic love movie, a new type of bullshit, there are many such movies, not to mention anything else, isn't the war and love directed and acted by Jiang Changsheng the same type of movie?
Adding an epic became a new genre, and it can only be said that Zhang Yimou can draw big cakes.

Zhang Yimou didn't notice Jiang Changsheng's subtle expression, but continued: "Speaking of which, my idea of ​​making this movie was also inspired by you.

When I was preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, I heard your live performance of Victory at the headquarters of the Philharmonic Orchestra. The feeling of war epic shocked me a lot.

I had the idea of ​​making a movie. "

Jiang Changsheng didn't know what to say, he didn't understand Lao Mouzi's brain circuit, the song victory didn't match the story of Jinling Thirteen Beauties at all, it wasn't the same thing.

The background of Jinling Thirteen Beauties is the pain that Chinese people will never forget and never forgive.

In the church, there are a fake priest (male lead) from the United States, a group of prostitutes, a group of female students, and soldiers and wounded soldiers. Facing the cruel environment and extreme encounters of the war, under the leadership of the American priest, a group of prostitutes sacrificed themselves , saved the female student.

To be honest, the filming of this movie is still very good, and Zhang Yimou's skill is still online, but the core of the story, Jiang Changsheng, really doesn't like it.

The life of a prostitute is also a life, and the so-called sacrifice and redemption of using the life of a prostitute to save the life of a female student is really difficult for people to substitute.

Not to mention all kinds of inexplicable coincidences in the plot of the movie, abrupt changes in characters and so on.

Jiang Changsheng asked very bluntly: "Why did you find Jing Tian for this movie, her acting skills may not meet your requirements."

Zhang Yimou looked at Huang Xinmin, and then said: "You know the specific reason, originally Zhang Weipin was going to attend today's dinner, but I persuaded him.

Xinmin will be the representative, and Xinmin will be the producer of this film. "

Jiang Changsheng understood that after Zhang Weipin was rejected by Jing Bu in three shots, he still wanted to build a relationship with the big boss, so he still wanted to find Jing Tian to play the heroine in the movie Thirteen Beauties of Jinling.

Zhang Weipin didn't come because he knew that his relationship with Jiang Changsheng was not good, and he was afraid that coming here would be counterproductive.

Zhang Yimou continued: "I attach great importance to this movie. The preparation of the actors is very important. It is estimated that at least a period of collective training will be required, so Jing Tian's acting skills are not a problem. I have time to learn slowly."

Jiang Changsheng directly shook his head: "Forget it, you guys are overwhelmed by the so-called relationship. The sweet temperament is a flower of wealth and wealth. Although she is indeed beautiful in a cheongsam, but you want her to show her head in a cheongsam and act like a romantic woman. This is totally inappropriate.

And if Lao Jing knows it, he may not like it, and then your flattery will be slapped on the horse's leg. "

When Zhang Yimou heard Jiang Changsheng's words, a smile flashed across his mouth, and he said to Huang Xinmin and Liu Heng, "Since Changsheng doesn't agree, let's choose another role."

Seeing Zhang Yimou's performance, Jiang Changsheng knew that he had become a tool person.

It was probably Zhang Weipin's idea to find Jing Tian to play the role. Zhang Yimou didn't want to, but Zhang Weipin is an investor and the owner of the company, and Zhang Yimou is not easy to be tough.

He knew Jiang Changsheng well, knew that Jiang Changsheng would not let Jing Tian play an inappropriate role, so he invited Jiang Changsheng to dinner, and through Jiang Changsheng's mouth, told Zhang Weipin that this road would not work.

It's not that I, Zhang Yimou, disagree with you asking Jing Tian to play the heroine, it's that Jing Tian and Tianya Entertainment behind her don't want to cooperate.

Jiang Changsheng was taken advantage of by Zhang Yimou, and he was not angry. After all, Lao Mouzi gave him ten guest tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and Jiang Changsheng still owed favors.

Just paid it off this time.

However, it seemed that the break between Zhang Weipin and Zhang Yimou was about to start, the conflict between the two was getting bigger and bigger, the internal conflict could not be resolved through communication, and it had to rely on the external force of Jiang Changsheng.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Changsheng still asked, "Do you have any passionate scenes in this movie?"

Zhang Yimou pointed to Liu Heng, shook his head and said, "Of course not, this movie is a very serious war movie, not suitable for pornographic things.

Teacher Liu Heng acted as the screenwriter for the film, and he can testify. "

Jiang Changsheng nodded, it seems that the rumors in his previous life might be true.

Many viewers who have seen Jinling Thirteen Beauties think that in this movie, the passionate scene between the hero and heroine at the end is a failure. The arrangement is very abrupt, and there is a sense of disobedience.

It is said that this scene was not included in the script, and Zhang Weipin forced it to be added in order to stimulate the box office and have a publicity stunt.

Jiang Changsheng said: "If there is no big scale, I recommend Song Yi as the heroine.

Her cheongsam looks very beautiful, and she can also receive regular training, but closed training is definitely not possible. "

Song Yi is now popular because of Brother Running, but the spotlight on variety shows is limited. Tong Axiang is the heroine, and Song Yi's demeanor in the show is slightly weaker.

Moreover, she doesn't have any film and television works that can be produced, so it is a very good arrangement for her to play Zhang Yimou's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins.

Although Jinling Thirteen Beauties have various problems, the quality of the original character is still online, and Douban's score is above 8 points.

Participating in this movie greatly improved Song Yi's popularity and heritage.

This is what Jiang Changsheng thought of temporarily.

As for Zhang Weipin's possible imposition of passionate scenes, it can be easily resolved.

When the time comes to sign the actor contract, you can agree on the relevant terms of not acting in large-scale scenes, and set a high liquidated damages.

Other actors would not dare to do this, but Song Yi has Jiang Changsheng behind him, everyone is used to doing this, Fan Bingbing has always been like this.

Hearing Jiang Changsheng's words, Zhang Yimou attached great importance to it, and he said, "Yes, I will give priority to Song Yi in the casting."

Jiang Changsheng received Zhang Yimou's reply, knowing that it was not a lie, and the only obstacle was Zhang Weipin, so he said: "If Song Yi is the heroine, Dadi Cinemas will take care of the films that will be released in Jinling Thirteen Hairpins. You can tell Zhang Weipin about this."

Zhang Yimou heard the words, and said directly: "That's no problem, I believe in Changsheng's vision of casting roles, the heroine is Song Yi."

This is the awesomeness of mastering the theater chain. Zhang Weipin is a businessman, and only if the film is scheduled can the box office be sold. He will definitely agree to this condition.

As for Zhang Yimou, he knew Song Yi, but not much.He agreed with Song Yi to play the heroine, on the one hand to give Jiang Changsheng face, on the other hand he really believed in Jiang Changsheng's character and vision.

After being in contact for a long time, Zhang Yimou has somewhat blind faith in Jiang Changsheng.
