China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 57 of course!

On the morning of April 4th, inside Xingchen Film and Television Company.

At present, Xingchen Film and Television has 32 employees, and the ten newcomers who have only been on the job for a week look tense.

After they joined the company, they have not seen any of the stars except the boss, Director Lu.

As a result, yesterday, Wu Guohua, the manager, suddenly announced that Guorong would come to the company tomorrow, and Jiang Wen would come with him, and asked everyone to clean up immediately and get ready for the reception!
This time, all the new employees were not calm.

Jiang Wen put aside for now, the other is my brother!

Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Cheng Dieyi from "Farewell My Concubine".

There are also "The Wind Continues to Blow", "Silence is Golden" and "Love in the Past". . .

Yesterday the whole company played all my brother's songs.

The old employees are much calmer.

Although they have not been in the company for long, there are not many stars who have joined the company.

But they followed Lu Pingan to the set and to Berlin, and they have seen a lot of things in the world.

But under the calm appearance, everyone is actually excited.

After all, it is Guorong!

Now in 2002, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars would have been raised by at least one coffee position in the mainland.

Among Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, although Guo Rong does not show up as often as the Four Heavenly Kings, for people in the entertainment circle, Guorong's status is generally recognized as higher than the Four Heavenly Kings.

If Guorong came here today, if the boss could really handle him, it would mean nothing to the company, so no one dared to neglect him.

Soon, as the elevator outside the company opened, a few people who looked like assistants and a big man who looked like bodyguards came out first.

Then Lu Ping'an, Guo Rong, and Jiang Wen came out talking and laughing.

Guorong is of medium height, a little petite in front of Lu Pingan and Jiang Wen, who are about 1.8 meters tall.

But the temperament is indescribably special.

Lu Ping'an doesn't have much aura, mainly because he has a tender face and is just a student.

And Guorong also looks like a student, he seems to be no different from Lu Pingan, but the actual aura is restrained and smart, his eyes are full of light, he is very handsome!

Especially in front of Jiang Wen, who exudes domineering aura mixed with gangster aura, Jiang Wen looks like an ancient general, while Guorong is like an ancient prince who visits privately in micro-clothes, and he came here today for an outing.

This is superstar!
The employees of Xingchen Company sighed in their hearts, and then began the welcoming ceremony.

"Hello brother!"

More than 20 employees stood in a row to say hello.

"Hi everybody."

Guorong's affinity was beyond the mark, he smiled and waved to everyone, "There is no need to be so grand, I just came to see, you are busy with your work."

The mandarin is very standard, the voice is nice, and it looks like a person in his 40s at a close distance.

After entering the company, Lu Pingan showed Guorong around.

There is still nothing to see, but Guorong is very interested.

"This is the Palme d'Or of 'Black Hole', right..."

"This Palme d'Or is so charming. If it were me, I would prefer this..."

"This is the manuscript of "Employed Life", can you send me a copy?"

Guorong was very interested, or rather interested in Lu Pingan.

What impressed him most about Lu Ping'an was not other movies, but "Employment Life".

Before that, Lu Pingan contacted Jiang Wen and asked him if he could contact Guorong and wanted him to be the protagonist.

After Jiang Wen contacted, Guorong, like Zhou Xingxing, directly said that he knew Lu Ping'an, and that he was also in the mainland, so he came directly.

On the way to the airport to pick up the plane, Lu Pingan already knew the relationship between Jiang Wen and Guorong.

They have known each other for a long time, and they had a long talk not long ago, and they showed off two bottles of red wine.

The main topic is that Guorong wants to be a director. He said that after acting in so many movies, he wanted to direct one himself. There was too much difference, so now that I was preparing for the second part, I found Jiang Wen.

Now the project has entered the preparation stage. I don't know when it will be filmed, but it will probably be next year.

What happened later, Lu Pingan also knew that Jiang Wen and Huang Xiaoming would play father and son in Guorong's movie.

But it was not achieved, and everything stopped on April Fool's Day next year.

After receiving Guorong at the airport, Guorong also recognized Lu Pingan very much.

But the first sentence he said was: "Your "Employment Life" should add an ironing board."

And the reason, now I know.

Guorong looked at the manuscript and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I did a stupid thing. I used myself as an ironing board and had people iron clothes on my back. It was so dangerous that I almost got burned, hahaha. . . ”

As he said that, he pointed to the manuscript of "Employment Life" and said with regret: "I actually had such an idea. At that time, I wondered whether someone would specialize in ironing boards and chairs in the future. Unfortunately, I can also draw, but I am short of learning to be a director. Hey, if I had learned to be a director earlier, I might be able to make such a work, hahaha, just kidding, even if I was a director, I would not be able to shoot it, don’t take it seriously. . . ”

Guorong talked a lot, and he was the one who talked almost all the way, and he always laughed when he said it. He was very friendly and childish. He looked like he had no pressure at all in his heart, and he couldn't tell that he would get sick in the future.

After a brief visit, he entered Lu Ping'an's office, invited him to tea, and started talking about the topic.

Guorong first said to Lu Pingan: "Director Jiang said that before working with him, he could try to cooperate with you first. He said that your requirements for the film are the same as his, and you are a perfectionist."

After Lu Pingan heard this, he was even more grateful to Jiang Wen, because he was really helping him.

"Not a perfectionist."

Lu Pingan said modestly, "I can only say that I am trying my best to make the film as I imagined it, and not let them fall below the bottom line of the minimum standard, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

This can be considered to be honest, after all, 90% is indeed the bottom line.

"That's another word for perfectionism, I've learned!"

Guorong said with a smile to the helper next to him, "Don't say I'm a perfectionist in the future, but say that my bottom line is relatively high, do you understand?"

The crowd laughed.

Then Guorong stretched out his hand: "Show me the script, let me see your brain hole."

The term "brain hole" belongs to Lu Pingan in this world.

This is also one of the reasons that attracted Guorong to come here.

"You will be satisfied."

Lu Pingan smiled and handed out two scripts, Jiang Wen and Guorong each had a copy, both with storyboards.

Regarding whether Guorong will take the role.

Lu Ping'an and Jiang Wen asked.

After hearing the general content of the script, Jiang Wen said that the possibility is very high.

Now Guorong's film selection preferences have changed.

A more experimental film.

This is the case with "Different Space", which was just released in Xiangjiang on March 3 this year, and the previous "Gun King". His role in it is more psychologically problematic.

It's not that I really like characters with psychological problems, but I prefer movies with different styles and different performance techniques.

"Source Code" is obviously not an experimental film, but a standard Hollywood-style commercial film.

But if you really want to talk about the plot, it is indeed more attractive than ordinary movies.

It is the "brain hole" mentioned by Guorong.

Jiang Wen said that Guo Rong did not choose experimental films, but would consider them comprehensively.

For example, supporting juniors, trying new and interesting scripts, etc.

Free and casual.

On this point, the Ping An Road movie fits perfectly.

Young, he is the most promising rising star of the younger generation in mainland China, and Jiang Wen's "friend".

The films I made did not follow the usual path, they took a new path, very pioneering.

At the same time, the quality is guaranteed and the reputation is very good.

So overall, the probability of Lu Pingan taking down Guorong is very high, at least Jiang Wen thinks so, but it doesn't mean Guorong himself.

Lu Pingan still has the same mentality about this.

It's best if it works, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, no matter what the result is, it will not affect the final shooting plan and film quality.

After half an hour.

Guorong put down the script and asked Lu Pingan: "This idea is great, I like it very much, Ping An, did the hero really not die in the end? How could the female officer receive the text message?"

This is the biggest doubt in the hearts of many people who have watched "Source Code", and it is also the charm of this film.

The theory of parallel worlds is not popular in the current world. Even if there are films such as "Comet" appearing and mentioning it, but without the background of the Internet information explosion, ordinary people will still feel amazing when they hear it.

So Lu Pingan explained it to him in detail, and as the author revealed more hints of the film's thoughtfulness and fear.

After chatting for a while, Guorong fully understood some of the pioneering ideas in the movie.

Guorong shook his head with a smile, pointed at Lu Pingan and said to Jiang Wen, "I kind of understand why everyone says his movies are mind-boggling."

Everyone laughed again.

Lu Pingan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then brother, do you want to create this interesting movie world together?"

"I don't have many schedules, but..." Guorong put down the script, spread his hands, and said handsomely in English: "of course!"
