Chapter 592 Four Women and Four Men
In the original timeline, after this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony ended.

Sina.com commented: "Not only did the number of stars at this year's Golden Rooster Awards fall far short of the number and size of the stars described by the organizers, but the organization and management can only be described as 'chaotic.' As the only highest award in mainland China's professional film industry, the 'fairness, equity' and 'attractiveness' of the Golden Rooster Awards have once again been challenged."

To say it was a harsh review was actually an understatement.

Not only was there a lack of big-name stars to support the event, but there were also not many people attending, making the scene dim.

This already shows that even people in the industry look down on this so-called highest award in the mainland's only professional film industry selection.

It also specifically points out justice and fairness, and its meaning is self-evident.

Liaoshen Evening News also commented: "This year's Golden Rooster Awards seem to have nothing to recommend them. Objectively speaking, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival does have many problems in its award mechanism and operation. However, the revitalization of domestic film festivals cannot rely solely on film associations and government departments. The personal actions of filmmakers are also very important."

What does it mean that there are many problems in the award evaluation mechanism and operation links?
What does it mean that filmmakers’ “physical actions” are also important?
It's just that it's clearly stated that this award is not fair or just.

Wang Shu knew that many big-name stars did not attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards, so the scene was dim, and the Best Director Award was won by Feng Xiaogang.

He would not be so stupid as to run over and be fleeced by the organizer.

In the future, it may appear at the Golden Rooster Awards.

Just, not now.

Moreover, he did not go to the Golden Rooster Awards because he had reasons to decline and there was nothing wrong with it.

This is because he has never been to the Golden Horse Awards.

In this way, no one can say that he, as a mainland director, licks the Golden Horse Awards of Taiwan and looks down on the Golden Rooster Awards of the mainland.

As for the Oscars and the three major European awards.

As one of the four major awards in the world, it is already sought after by the world.

In a blink of an eye, National Day is here.

从10月1日到10月8日，共计放假8天。

Not to mention that many people only have three days off, even for those who can have eight days off, there is still bad news.

October 10st is National Day and October 1rd is Mid-Autumn Festival.

National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are combined, so the holiday lasts for 8 days.

If they are not connected together, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays should total 10 days.

The lower-level workers do not have only 3 days off, but 4 days off.

4 days paid leave.

Yikeshu Company is also on holiday. As the company has a lot of things to do, some people need to work overtime.

On holidays, triple salary.

Wang Shu is also working overtime.

To be exact, he doesn't have a specific vacation time.

When things are busy and he is busy, he works even on holidays.

But when there is less work to do, he will take it as a holiday even on a weekday.

Not only him, but also Sun Li, Chen Hao, Liu Yan, Chen Kun, Deng Chao and others did not take a holiday. They all gathered at Yikeshu Company for a book reading session of "The Night the Comet Came".

The set of this movie is a house. The team of Yikeshu Company had already found the location and now they are just waiting for the actors to get familiar with the script and get into their roles before filming starts.

There are only 8 actors in the whole play, Sun Li, Chen Hao, Liu Yan, Zhao Liying, who play the first to fourth female roles respectively.

Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Jiang Wu, and Yang Wei play the first to fourth male roles respectively.

Although the ages of the actors are slightly different from the original version, Wang Shu made some modifications.

Not to mention, his version is a gathering of young people, and it would be inappropriate to find some older people like the original version.

Eight people sat in the conference room and greeted each other.

No one was surprised that Yang Wei got the role.

Everyone knew that Yang Wei was a friend Wang Shu had known since they were both unknown.

This time, it is just to promote the role given by the other party.

What Sun Li and others found strange was Zhao Liying. They had no impression of her and couldn't see the way out.

Zhao Liying was being looked at vaguely by Sun Li, Chen Hao and others. She knew why and there was an inexplicable embarrassment on her pretty face.

She really wanted to say that Director Wang was a serious man and did not seduce her.

And she didn't get the role by being physically superior.

She wanted to say that she was also surprised when she received the call from Yikeshu Company.

She never expected that such a good thing would happen to her.

Then I thought about it and remembered the audition for Pacific Rim.

It may be that I inadvertently left an impression on Director Wang that time, which led to this opportunity.

"Do you understand the script?" Liu Yan asked curiously.

She played the third female role and had no objection to Sun Li and Chan Hao playing the first and second female roles.

Sun Li is now a popular female star, and Chan Hao was the former number one of Orange Sky. Her status is far inferior to these two, so she will not feel uncomfortable.

There is also a science to casting in movies.

If you choose two actresses of equal status, and they are friends in private, then it's fine, otherwise there will be open and secret fighting in the crew. If the second female lead is higher in status than the first female lead, then the second female lead will not accept the first female lead, and they will not get along with each other in various ways.

It is undeniable that Chen Hao was the former number one of Orange Sky, but her status as the former number one was not only rather vague, but also a thing of the past.

Nowadays, in terms of status, she is not as good as Sun Li.

Jiang Wu shook his head: "I only have a vague understanding."

Deng Chao said, "Lili and I found some Hollywood movies to watch. Although I haven't fully understood them, I can almost understand the scripts."

Chen Hao added: "I also found some Hollywood movies to watch, and they are similar to what Deng Chao said."

Chen Kun: "Same, I've watched some Hollywood movies and I can kind of understand it."

Liu Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say, no wonder she can play the leading female role, the second female role, the leading male role, and the second male role. So it turns out that he is just an idiot and has done nothing?

No, it’s not just me.

At least Jiang Wu is the same as himself.

Can.
Jiang Wu plays the third male lead!
Seeing that Sun Li and others could understand the script, he suddenly became autistic.

When she was in autism, Zhao Liying also said: "I have also watched some Hollywood movies. Although I still don't fully understand the scripts, I have already gained some understanding."

Sun Li, Chen Kun and others knew that Zhao Liying was just being polite.

Since you have found a Hollywood movie of the same type to watch, anyone who is not a fool can understand the framework and structure of "The Night the Comet Comes".

It is said that people’s joys and sorrows are incomprehensible.

Sun Li and others thought that Zhao Liying should have understood the script, but Liu Yan opened his mouth.

After all this time, from the first female lead to the fourth female lead, it turns out that she, the third female lead, didn't understand the script?
Suddenly, I became more withdrawn.

When Zhao Liying saw Liu Yan's expression, she knew that she had said the wrong thing again.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have said anything.

After receiving the call from Yikeshu, Zhao Liying knew it was a great opportunity. She agreed without hesitation and then rushed to Yikeshu Company to get the script.

After I got home, I found that I couldn’t understand it.

Zhao Liying was aware of the importance of this opportunity and did not dare to leave a bad impression in front of Wang Shu, so she immediately tried to understand the script.

She also heard that Wang Shu's movies tended to be Hollywood-style, so she had an idea and found some Hollywood movies of the same type to watch.

After reading it, it really helps me understand the script in my hand.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

In her opinion, as long as she could understand the script, she would most likely not leave a bad impression on Wang Shu.

In fact, Chen Hao was the same as her, except that Chen Hao did not watch similar Hollywood movies to understand the scripts because he was worried about leaving a bad impression on Wang Shu.

Rather, as an actor, she believes that understanding the script is her job.

Originally, she wanted to consult Wang Shu, but then she thought that Wang Shu was too busy with work, so she gave up the idea of ​​consulting Wang Shu. She then watched Hollywood movies of the same type to help her understand the script.

As for Sun Li, she was dragged by Deng Chao to watch Hollywood movies of the same type.

Deng Chao finally got the second male lead in a science fiction movie directed by Wang Shu, and wanted to show off in front of Wang Shu.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the script, just find a way to understand it.

Then I watched similar Hollywood movies to help me understand the script.

He pulled Sun Li along, and the two of them watched the script together. After discussing with each other, they gradually understood the script.

The same is true for Chen Kun.

Liu Yan did not have such an understanding. She subconsciously believed that she was able to get the role of the third female lead because she slept with Wang Shu.

In her opinion, Wang Shu was quite upright and sentimental, and probably thought that they had slept together anyway and he couldn't just ignore it, so he immediately gave her the role of the third female lead.

Liu Yan has been struggling with these things these days, so he didn't try to find ways to help him understand the script like Chen Hao and others did.

In other words, she subconsciously believed that Wang Shu was there, and even if she didn't understand, he would help her.

After all, no matter what, it is a "close" relationship.

Just when Liu Yan was in autism, Yang Wei also said: "I also found some Hollywood movies to watch. I have to say that this method really works."

“I didn’t really understand the script at first, but after watching some movies of the same genre, I slowly began to understand it.”

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yang Wei laughed awkwardly: "But I didn't think of finding Hollywood movies of the same type like you did. I couldn't understand the script, so I called Director Wang. He told me to find Hollywood movies of the same type, and then I found a lot of similar movies on the Internet."

When Liu Yan heard this, she opened her mouth. Why didn’t she ask Wang Shu about such a simple matter?
Even more autistic.

Jiang Wu was also a little upset. If he had known this would happen, he would have called Wang Shu.

After he got the script, he still couldn't understand it. He wanted to consult Wang Shu, but then he remembered that Wang Shu was very busy and that Wang Shu said there would be a script reading session later, so he gave up the idea.

Then he thought about taking the script to consult Jiang Wen, but he felt it was not a good idea and gave up the idea.

If I had known that calling Wang Shu would give me the answer on where to find similar Hollywood movies to watch, I would have made the call without disturbing Wang Shu.

now
Fortunately, I wasn’t the only one who didn’t quite understand the script.

There is also company.
