A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 272 Let tragedy shine into reality! The greatest work of the st century! He will definitely change the world!

The voice was choked with sobs and a hint of crying. It was not difficult to hear that the woman on the other end of the phone was crying.

Hearing this familiar female voice, Jiang Hai frowned subconsciously:
"What's with you?"

There was a rustling sound coming from the other end of the phone, as if someone was sorting out his or her broken emotions.

Just as Jiang Hai's patience was exhausted and he wanted to hang up the phone.

The crying female voice called out to him:
"Can you help my father?"

"My dad was taken away by the disciplinary inspection officers this morning."

Among those who are in this circle, how many have clean hands?
Things like industry bullying may not be taken care of or turned a blind eye to in private on a daily basis.

But you want to put this kind of thing on the table?
Even if the real senior executives behind the scenes of Beijing Film Studio came, it wouldn't work.

Jiang Hai was silent for a moment, and then responded to her expressionlessly:

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

The development of things was obviously beyond his expectations.

"You know, I'm just an ordinary student, how could I have such great power?"

"Don't you think this matter is developing a little too quickly?"

It was obvious that Jiang Hai being threatened was just a fuse.

Don't say she didn't expect it, even Jiang Hai himself didn't expect it -

How could an ordinary quarrel cause such a big reaction?
When the inspection department stepped in and started to thoroughly investigate the tax issues there, the matter was doomed to fail.

Crying can't solve anything.

It's not Jiang Hai's nature to kick someone when he's down.

However, as a kind reminder, Jiang Hai still pointed out a clear path for Han Duoduo:
"I've been in the underworld for so many years, spent so much money, and fattened up so many people. Isn't it just for today?"

"Instead of apologizing to me, I think you should ask 'those people' for help."

"It's no use apologizing to me at this time."

“I am really powerless.”

After saying this, Jiang Hai decisively hung up the phone without waiting for a reply from the other end.

Do you think she really knows she's wrong?
No, it's not.

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

While skillfully blocking the phone number, Jiang Hai flipped through the Analects in his hand and began to recite word by word:

"If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."

"I know the way to your house in the morning, and I will go along the way and beat you to death in the evening."

"Well, this explanation is really appropriate."

That is when Jiang Hai hung up the phone with Han Duoduo and began to seriously give new meaning to the Confucian classic "The Analects":
"The Analects is not a record of the sayings of the sage Confucius, but a description of the rules of the Tao."

This was when Jiang Hai was working hard.

The next moment, his cell phone rang again.

Jiang Hai answered the phone, his tone was obviously a little impatient:

"Didn't I tell you that I can't help you? Don't you understand?"

Just as Jiang Hai was about to explode, Principal Fang Zhenguo's doubtful voice came:
"what are you saying?"

“Who asked you for help again?”

Seeing that the caller was not Han Duoduo but the principal Fang Zhenguo, Jiang Hai's tone slowed down:
"Is it the principal? It's okay, I just recognized the wrong person."

"Casting? I see. OK, I'll be there soon."

A thousand-mile horse often exists, but Bole does not.

Just having a good script is not enough to produce a good movie. In order to make a good movie, a complete set of processes, from the script, to casting, to the director's offline storyboards, on-site shooting, and post-promotion and distribution, are indispensable if you want to achieve good box office results.

Thanks to the improper coveting of Beijing Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio attached great importance to the production of "Dying to Survive".

In recent years, Shanghai Film Studio has not produced a movie with both good reputation and box office for a long time. It is precisely based on the idea of ​​​​restoring its reputation that this time Shanghai Film Studio regards Jiang Hai's script "Dying to Survive" as the studio's key incubation project this year.

In other words, Shanghai Film Studio wants to rely on "Dying to Survive"——

Restore the reputation that is on the verge of being broken!
Chenghai Drama Academy.

Actor casting scene, inside the classroom.

Zhu Gaojun, the director of Shanghai Film Studio, was in charge of the scene. While flipping through the resumes of the actors in his hands, he shouted towards the classroom door:
"Next person."

Jiang Hai has always held only one belief, that is, professional matters should be left to professionals.

He is just an author.

He is just a screenwriter.

The only things he can do and is good at is writing and revising scripts. Precisely because he knows his own abilities, Jiang Hai has never participated in filming or casting.

But this time, at the strong request of Zhu Gaojun, director of Shanghai Film Studio, Jiang Hai could no longer refuse and finally participated in the casting of the film.

In the multimedia classroom.

Jiang Hai sat in the chief examiner's seat, and next to him sat Zhu Gaojun, director of the Shanghai Film Studio.

Wait until the auditioning actors leave.
Zhu Gaojun, with gray hair, turned his head to look at Jiang Hai:

"What do you think of this girl?"

Jiang Hai pondered for a moment, shook his head, and slowly drew a cross under the actor's name:

"She is pretty and has a good figure, but she looks a bit fancy, her lines are not clear, her facial expressions are not well controlled, and her image does not fit the role very well."

"I don't think it works."

After hearing Jiang Hai's comments, without any unnecessary words, Shanghai Film Studio Director Zhu Gaojun immediately nodded to the staff who were organizing order on the scene.

The staff member understood what he meant and immediately shouted to the long queue outside the door:

"Next person."

"Central Academy of Drama, Zhao Shiying."

Although Jiang Hai is not a director, in the film and television industry, Jiang Hai's name is even stronger than many well-known directors!
As for the reason, it is simple, because there is a saying widely circulated in the film and television industry:

“Anything produced by Jianghai must be of the highest quality!”

Although Jiang Hai has never been a serious director, you should know what scripts Jiang Hai has written for film and television.

From "Sanmao's Wanderings" to "The Divine Chef Little Fugui".

From "Year Hare Affair" to "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale".

From "The Injustice of Dou E" to "The Butterfly Lovers".

From "The Crucible" to "Hope", a "healing" film that shook the entire Korean society.
Don't worry about whether it is a movie or a TV show.

Don’t worry about whether it is an anime sketch character or real actors participating offline.

Any script that Jiang Hai has handled -

Is there one that is not a classic?

When Shanghai Film Studio used the name of "Jiang Hai" for publicity and put up the slogan:
"Famous screenwriter Jiang Hai's another masterpiece "Dying to Survive" is recruiting leading actors and actresses from the public"

In an instant, film and television companies, amateur actors, and students from the three major performing arts schools flocked to the scene almost in the blink of an eye.

“This is a healing film that is no less than The Crucible!”

"This is a true story about a group of cancer patients." First of all, the screenwriter of this script is Jiang Hai.

Secondly, the genre of this film is still the realistic tragedy film that Jiang Hai is always good at.
With this double guarantee, it is almost certain that—

This can't possibly be a bad movie!
What kind of people are you in the entertainment industry?
It's just a matter of qualifications.

What we are fighting for is fame!
For most actors, they may not even be able to act in a bad movie, let alone a hit movie like this?
When the news that Jiang Hai's new drama "Dying to Survive" entered the preparation stage began to spread in the market, all of a sudden, contracted artists from major film and television agencies, amateur actors, and fresh graduates from the three major film, television and drama academies all flocked to the Chenghai Drama Academy for casting for "Dying to Survive".

At this moment, outside the casting set.

A large number of artists, students, and ordinary people of all kinds began to gather at the door.

The bored actors waiting outside the door started discussing Jiang Hai, a famous person, and his new play:

"Have you heard that this time, 'Dying to Survive' was directed by Mr. Jiang Hai himself, and it is said to be a realistic tragedy film that is no less than 'The Crucible'! If it is not inferior to 'The Crucible', what kind of existence is that! You know, 'The Crucible' is a film that won the Blue Dragon Award in South Korea."

"The Crucible directly made the lead actor Gong Yoo win the Blue Dragon Award for Best Actor. If this is true, then the male lead of Dying to Survive is definitely a potential Best Actor candidate. I'm so envious, I want to be the male lead, too."

"Male lead? You're so bold. I'm so lucky to be chosen as an extra in 'Dying to Survive'! If I could become the male lead, I could go back to the department and brag about it for the rest of my life."

"I heard that Mr. Jiang Hai's selection criteria are really strict? Zhao Shiying, the top-ranked outstanding graduate of the Central Academy of Drama's Acting Department this year, was directly judged as failing by Mr. Jiang Hai!"

"Really? It's so exaggerated."

They are also in their early twenties.

Others can sit in the classroom and interview handsome men and beautiful women from various film and television companies and performing arts colleges.

But I could only stand outside the door holding my resume, waiting for a miracle to happen like a concubine waiting for the emperor's favor.

This made the students waiting outside the door sigh:
“It’s great to be a screenwriter.”

Audition theater.

Jiang Hai sat in the examiner's seat, instructing the girl who graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy:
"You need to lift your butt a little more and open your legs a little more. I want a seductive feeling, do you understand?"

"Lift your hips. That's right. Keep lifting them."

"Why can't you get into the position I want? Didn't you major in dance? Charming feeling, do you know what charming feeling is?"

There is a character named Liu Sihui in the TV series “Dying to Survive”. She is a single mother whose daughter suffers from leukemia. In order to save money for her daughter’s treatment, she works in a factory during the day and works as a dancer in a bar at night, performing pole dancing for the bar’s guests.
Looking at the girl in front of me, I really can't get rid of the feeling I want.

Jiang Hai looked up helplessly and shouted to the staff at the door:
"next."

Unexpectedly, he hadn't even shouted yet.

This girl from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy who was taking the art exam quickly waved towards Jiang Hai:

"give me one more chance!"

"Teacher Jiang Hai, please give me another chance!"

“I will definitely act well this time!”

"Teacher Jiang Hai, can you give me some guidance? I mean, come here."

For an actor, any audition opportunity is extremely precious and rare.

Seeing how persistent she is.

Jiang Hai was also quite helpless. He walked over and took the initiative to act as a pole for dancing, holding her slender waist:

"Bear, lift it up a little."

"Hips, sink down a little, that's right."

That was when Jiang Hai was concentrating on explaining the play to the girl.

When the girl was dancing, she took advantage of Jiang Hai's inattention and unconsciously grabbed Jiang Hai's wrist which was on her waist.

Going Down
Then go down
When the palm of your hand touches the softness behind you.

Jiang Hai immediately retracted his hand and looked at the girl in front of him seriously:
"Please respect yourself!"

After saying this, he returned to the examiner's seat without looking back:
"Next person!"

Watching the dancing girl leave.

Jiang Hai casually threw the note with his name and phone number on it that she had left in his pocket into the small box in front of him.

Looking at the dozens of slips of paper in the box containing private messages from the actresses who were auditioning.

Jiang Hai sighed:

"How can you still rush to let someone take advantage of you?"

As if he had long been immune to this kind of situation, Shanghai Film Studio Director Zhu Gaojun smiled calmly at Jiang Hai:
“Just get used to it”

Twenty years old is a strong age.

For girls who want to enter the entertainment industry, it would be great if they could use their young bodies to hook up with Jiang Hai, a writer and screenwriter who is very famous in the film and television industry.

Then it wouldn't be a bad idea to accompany him for a night.

But for Jiang Hai.
Can you please hand me the room card and the note and pick a more secluded place?
There are so many people watching, and you're going to put the room card directly into my pocket?

This isn't putting me on the fire.
Jiang Hai’s requirements are very strict.

After an afternoon of selection and auditioning of nearly 300 actors, only two roles were finally confirmed:

One is the leukemia patient in "Dying to Survive" and also the butcher Huang Mao.

This role is played by Zhang Yu, an actor from the southwest region.

The name Zhang Yu may sound unfamiliar to you.

But when it comes to the famous scenes in his masterpiece "Nobody", I think some people have heard of it——

"This is love!"

"Love? I love your mom's love!"

The other is Lv Shouyi, a patient with leukemia in "Dying to Survive". Jiang Hai was very bold to use a comedy actor for this role. The actor is Wang Chuanjun, who played Guan Gu Shenqi in "Love Apartment".

In response to the questions from the factory director Zhu Gaojun:

"A comedian acting in a realistic movie like 'Dying to Survive'? Can he act well?"

Jiang Hai glanced at Wang Chuanjun's resume and nodded slowly:
"I believe in him, he must have the ability"

This time, Shanghai Film Studio gave Jiang Hai absolute say, and absolutely respected Jiang Hai's ideas in everything from the casting of actors to the setting of the filming location.

“What’s our budget for this show?”

Hearing Jiang Hai's question, Factory Director Zhu Gaojun turned sideways and gestured to Jiang Hai:
"No (middle finger) termination."

"What do you mean?"

“That means there is no upper limit.”

After receiving Zhu Gaojun's affirmative answer, Jiang Hai immediately laughed very happily:
"Then I'm relieved."

That was when Jiang Hai was busy preparing for "Dying to Survive".

North America.

A newsstand that looks very old and has a medieval architectural style.

There were crowds of people outside the bookstore.

I saw a tall, bearded foreigner leaning against the corner of the castle wall, holding a copy of "The Sun Also Rises" in his hand, and he was immersed in it.

After a long silence.

As if deeply touched.

His eyes were filled with tears, and he silently uttered:
“This is definitely the greatest work of the 21st century.”
