Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 281 Taking office, cornfield!

In mid-April, China Film Group held a press conference to announce that the co-production "Interstellar" had been officially approved.

The film is jointly produced by China Film Group, Hua Na Film Group, and Jiecheng Film Group. Directed by Zhen Jiecheng, the budget investment is 1.2 million US dollars, and the real-time exchange rate exceeds 8 million RMB.

The news was announced and instantly became the front-page headline.

Especially science fiction fans,
The whole world celebrates, everyone is happy, everyone is delighted, everyone is telling each other. The four idioms sum up the phrase "everyone is celebrating", which is a true portrayal of the inner feelings of science fiction fans.

At a time when national self-confidence is rising, the barrenness of China's science fiction soil is particularly glaring.

After "Avatar", a bunch of "pseudo 3D" and "pseudo science fiction" films that were in guise of genuine products were rampant in the market, attracting a lot of attention but leaving a lot of dust on the ground.

What if you are doing soft science fiction?
What if you are into science fiction?

neither!
At least the conscientious ones let the heroine have a 36D breast, just to comfort people.

The unscrupulous ones just do a one-time deal and cheat everyone they can.

As trust was gradually eroded, the fire of expectation was rekindled.

Wow! Damn Zhen Jie. No, it’s my dear Director Zhen!

Now that Director Zhen is here, there is hope for science fiction!
Now that Director Zhen is here, we have a bright future!

Although Zhen Jiecheng's reputation is not very good, his reputation in movies is high and solid.

Even though this was my first time dealing with science fiction, my expectations were still skyrocketing.

"#He is the damn Zhen Jiecheng#"

A comment made by a movie fan on Weibo became very popular.

Although the content is ordinary, the response is extraordinary.

"Don't slander the senior. He is not a bad guy at all!" - Yang Mi.

It's like opening Pandora's box.
"Mimi is right. Director Zhen is very gentle and easy-going." - Huang Xiaoming.

As soon as Xiao Ming's reply came out, there were immediately numerous question marks below, and many of them spoke up for Lu Chuan.

After Liu Yifei finished commenting on her main account, she switched to her secondary account to confront the trolls. She accidentally messed up her identity mode and let the cat out of the bag, and Jing Tian, ​​who was typing with her, was also exposed by netizens.

Liu Shishi was originally lying down, but was pulled in by Yang Mi.

The Chinese Paladin III was broadcasted on satellite TV in June 09, and Liu Shishi, who played the role of Long Kui, also had a group of fans. However, the hype of using the popularity of Tian Xian angered Tian Xian fans, and now, the comments attracted a group of little lions, and soon they had a fierce fight with the weird Tian Xian fans.

"Sissi starred in Parasite, the Palme d'Or winner at Cannes. What about you?"

"Sissi collaborated with two Kung Fu superstars and appeared on the Hollywood screen. What about you?"

"Sissi's Those Years is about to be released, what about you?"

"What do you mean by "you"? Shishi never has to cover her mouth when she laughs, what about you?" Yang Mi switched to her secondary account to argue for the ally she had chosen, and then posted a photo of herself, Liu Shishi and Zhen Jiecheng at the premiere of "Never Return" on her main account.

Caption: Come on, Shishi, your senior also praised you for being very good!
"Tsk tsk tsk! Each generation of the Four Little Flower Actresses is getting worse than the previous one!"

"Switch to Bingbing and the others, why are you still cutting the small size, just start with the big size."

"If it was Sister Xiaoqing, she would have opened her mouth and started to rant. She would have said 'fuck you' to your face instead of 'how is your mother?' from a distance."

Zhen Jiecheng was flipping through the web pages, happily eating melons.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Enter!"

"Boss, Warner Bros. said that the filming schedule for the project "I Bought a Zoo" might conflict with our "Interstellar"."

"It's a conflict, it has nothing to do with us. Wait, you mean, there's a problem with Scarlett Johansson's schedule?"

"Yes, boss!" The assistant nodded. "Before Warner approached Scarlett, she had already signed a contract with the crew of We Bought a Zoo, and she has only reached a verbal agreement with us. Now the filming plan of the crew over there has been confirmed, so Warner's meaning is, boss, do you want to change the female lead, such as Anne Hathaway?"

"Or, adjust the shooting plan to suit Scarlett's schedule."

"I can't cooperate, there's no room for negotiation! It's okay for supporting roles to make cameos, but it's absolutely not okay for the main character." Zhen Jiecheng waved his hands irritably, "Besides, I can't wait! When I think it's time to start filming, then we'll start filming, and everyone must cooperate with my thinking!"

"As for Anne Hathaway"

"Ahem, boss, Warner has also said that you are a great director. Even if Hathaway's current abilities don't satisfy you, I'm sure you can train her to look the way you want."

Zhen Jiecheng: (_)ヾ

Training? So direct? Ugh, are you so good at praising people?

Hollywood is really polite!

"Tell Hua Na, I'll think about it again."

"Good boss."

The assistant left quietly, while Zhen Jiecheng continued to think hard, trying to find a suitable option with the best cost-effectiveness.

"If American women can't play the role, then let's give the role to our sisters in China!" Ning Hao suggested, crossing his legs.

"Then who do you think is suitable?"

"How about Gong Li? She has both acting skills and fame."

"Not so good!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head. "Sister Gong's aura is too strong. She is not suitable for this role."

"What about Maggie Cheung? In In the Mood for Love, her performance outshined Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Among Hong Kong male actors, only a few like Leung Ka Fai can act opposite her."

"Her temperament is too gentle, which is not suitable." Zhen Jiecheng shook his head again.

"So you want to find someone in the middle? Independent and gentle, intelligent and strong, good at controlling micro-expressions, and brewing good eye acting? Where can I find this? Wait!" Ning Hao frowned, "Jiecheng, what do you think of Jiang Wenli?"

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng opened his mouth to refute. However, before he could finish his words, he was stunned, and his eyes lit up slightly.

You know what, Jiang Wenli does have some charm.

Although this senior sister is older now, she has taken good care of herself and looks no different from someone in her early thirties.

According to her memories of her previous life, she will star in "Happiness Knocks on the Door" next year and play the role of leftover woman Jiang Lu.

That charm is quite tempting!

Three years later, she played a widow in the movie "My Mother Is Getting Married" and her performance was also pretty good.

It is difficult for her to play the role of a young girl in her twenties on TV and impossible on the big screen. The focus is on the face, and youth cannot be expressed through makeup.

But when you are around 30 years old, it’s really not a big problem!

"What do you think? My suggestion is good, right?" Ning Hao said proudly.

"Not bad at all!" Zhen Jiecheng spat, scratching his head in confusion, "Director Tian won't agree!"

"Director Tian?" Ning Hao was stunned. "What does this have to do with your teacher?"

"What does it have to do with you? Get out of here right now. Take my lighter every time you come. I get annoyed just by seeing you!"

After driving Ning Hao away, Zhen Jiecheng pondered for a while, picked up the phone, and tentatively dialed Lao Deng'er's office landline.

"Hey, teacher."

"It's like this, what do you think of me asking Senior Sister Wenli to play the role?"

"Of course!" Tian Zhuangzhuang blurted out, interrupting Zhen Jiecheng's words, "But if it's just Jiang Wenli, isn't it a little bit insufficient?"

Zhen Jiecheng: [ヘ?]
"Do you want me to contact Kai Ge for you and ask Cheng Hong? Do you want me to call Xiao Jia and ask Zhao Tao for advice?"

"You are a famous director, so don't just rely on an old man like me to make contacts! Use your influence and give Zhang Jingchu a call. This way the crew will be more lively."

"It builds a bridge of communication between our Beijing Film Academy directors, which further demonstrates our deep friendship!" Director Tian sighed.

"Oh, what a pity! There's nothing suitable at Lu Chuan's place, otherwise there would be another option."

Zhen Jiecheng: (●—●)
Just one?

I glanced at my phone QQ with a guilty conscience.

Hu Die: "Okay, Brother Jie, see you tonight."

Closing his eyes, Qin Lan's frowning eyes appeared in his mind again: "You just like to torment me! Groundless rumours, right? Wait, next time I will shave it all off, and when the stubble grows a little bit, I will let you experience the speed of time!"

"Ahem, teacher! I've thought about it carefully, and Senior Sister's age isn't quite right." Zhen Jiecheng said awkwardly, "So let's just forget it."

“Although the actors given by Hua Na are not very capable, training actors is also one of the required courses for a director.”

"My senior brother chose an amateur as the heroine in his new work Under the Hawthorn Tree. How can I be so picky about an actress who already has a solid acting foundation?"

"I must take Senior Brother Yi as an example and strive to be like him!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Well! The teacher believes in you! Keep working hard, and you'll have your third child by the beginning of next year, and your fourth the year after. It's more than just catching up. You'll be able to surpass us in no time!"

Zhen Jiecheng: 0.0
"Teacher, you are busy! I won't disturb you. I will also go to work."

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Jiecheng cursed:

"It's all Ning Hao's fault!"

"I told you it was inappropriate, but you insisted on being stubborn!"

"If it weren't for your blind advice, would I have been scolded?"

After a pause,
"He~tui! You can even bite Lu Liping!"

"No matter what, my aesthetic taste is always online, but I have never been so hungry that I will eat anything!"

In the evening, Zhen Jiecheng arrived at the appointment on time.

Coincidentally, Hu Die was from Hanzhong and had moved to Chang'an since she could remember.

Therefore, Zhen Jiecheng no longer needed to reorganize the vocabulary and directly used the knowledge about Shaanxi's history, folk customs, humanities and landscape that he had learned when he was visiting the nursery.

Hu Die's eyes were full of surprise while chatting, some of which were unfamiliar to her even as a local.

How knowledgeable one must be to be able to quote from classics and speak so eloquently.

How much effort must be put behind the talent to be so knowledgeable about ancient and modern times and to be able to speak so effortlessly.

Seeing that the knowledge reserves about Shaanxi were almost exhausted, Zhen Jiecheng changed the topic to the film and television industry.

In this regard, Zhen Jiecheng adheres to the school motto of Beijing Film Academy, and has studied the experience of Senior Brother Chen in depth, making reference and improving it.

Hong Huang once said: The feeling Chen gave me at that time was that he really wanted to understand you, but he didn't want to sleep with you.

Talk about philosophy and art, from the East to the West.

From the French Revolution to the bourgeoisie to Fokker, etc.! Until three o'clock in the morning, we still hadn't talked about ××.

Finally, Hong Huang took the initiative and gradually returned to ×× after repeated pulling.

But Brother Chen's tactic of staying up late is a bit too slow and seems a bit hypocritical. The times are developing, the atmosphere is changing, and people should also keep pace with the times.

"Brother Jie, how is the preparation for Interstellar going?"

"Almost done, the actors have been basically decided. Next, give them some time to familiarize themselves with the script. I'll just attend the premiere of Those Years, and then we'll officially start filming!" Zhen Jiecheng said as he took out a tissue and handed it over, asking Hu Die, who was about to stand up, to sit back down.
"By the way, are you free? How about you come and host the premiere this afternoon with He Jiong and Jing Wei?"

"Me?" Hu Die was stunned. "I am free, but Brother Jie, I have no experience in hosting a premiere."

"Once is unfamiliar, twice is familiar, let's just say it this way!"

He made the decision right away and called Jingwei in front of Hu Die.

There was melodious music playing in the restaurant. It was one of the promotional songs for "Those Years", "Little Lucky" sung by Sun Yanzi.

"Have you finished eating? Come on, I'll drive you home."

After leaving the restaurant, I walked slowly in the crowded capital city.

Subway stations, cinemas, and bus signs are all printed with numerous promotional posters for "Those Years."

"What are you looking at? You haven't said a word for a long time!"

"It's a movie poster!" Hu Die pointed out the car window. It was the scene where Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi were looking at each other at the wedding. "Brother Jie, you're so handsome!"

"More handsome than Lu Chuan?"

"Ha ha ha ~ Brother Jie, you really know how to joke!" Hu Die covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her body shook. "Comparing him with me, aren't you just insulting yourself?"

Well, good, that's it.

Zhen Jiecheng was very satisfied.

After sending Hu Die downstairs, he politely declined her invitation to go upstairs to have a drink of water.

The content of "courtesy and courtesy" is still a bit high, so it is not advisable to be too hasty.

If you go slowly, you can not only drink water, but also drink it.

"dududu~"

"Hey, have you arranged the hotel room yet?"

"I'm going to pick him up at the airport right now and take him directly to the hotel."

"I have already summarized the main and subplots of the script in detail. Tell Guo Fan to lead the actors in reading the script first."

"dududu~"

"Hey, how's the cornfield?"

"Thank you so much for your help. It's not easy to grow 500 acres of corn."

"No need for inspection, I trust you 100%. If our country's agricultural experts can't grow it well, then no one in the world can grow it well!"

"dududu~"

"Hey, senior, I'm Zhen Jiecheng!"

"I'm almost ready. I'll officially start filming after attending the premiere of Those Years."

"You take care of the launch conference, I can do whatever I want."

After making a long series of phone calls, Zhen Jiecheng looked at Li Pingbin, Bao Dexi, Ji Jianming, Cao Jiuping and other gang members.

"Are you all ready?"

"Nonsense!" Li Pingbin pouted arrogantly.

"Of course!" Ji Jianming nodded happily.

"The personal accident insurance has been purchased. If you have the guts, then you can outlast me." As Cao Jiuping stared in amazement, Bao Dexi touched his bald head and uttered the harsh words.

"Hahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, Zhen Jiecheng stood up.

"Then prepare to take office. Emmm, cornfield!"
