Chapter 43 Love Mala Tang

PS. Come up with today's update and get some votes for "Qidian" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

Wang Dalun and Zhang Yuan chatted for about ten minutes, and the private room door was pushed open. Three people walked in. Zhang Jian took the lead, followed by a Chinese and a foreigner. The Chinese, in his early thirties, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and had a very dark and rural atmosphere. He looked very similar to the youngest son of the second uncle next door to Wang Dalun's hometown. The foreigner was older, very tall and strong, and looked like the bodyguard role in the blockbuster, but wearing a pair of myopic glasses, he looked a bit out of character.

Zhang Yuan stood up and greeted him, and Wang Dalun also stood up.

"Director of Beijing Film Studio, Zhang Yang."

"Wang Dalun."

Zhang Jian introduced the two.

"Hello, Director Zhang." Wang Dalun hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands and greeted each other.

"Haha, I have been hearing Brother Jian mention you, and I finally met today. Hello, hello." Director Zhang said nothing like the youngest son of the second uncle who could not beat a single stick, and was very enthusiastic.

"This is our American friend, Roy."

"Director Zhang, Wang Dalun."

When Zhang Jian introduced the foreigner, Wang Dalun felt that he was very similar to the old war movie. The scene where the villain officer introduced the American consultant: This is our American friend...

"Nicetomeetyou." Wang Dalun pulled in English.

"Hello." Roy said hello in very stiff Chinese.

It feels strange, and this style seems to have appeared in a joke.

Sit down and serve.

What Chinese people pay attention to is that they only start talking about serious things after drinking for three rounds and food after five flavors, so Zhang Yang did not talk about casting at the beginning, and Wang Dalun was not in a hurry. Anyway, Zhang Yuan's face was there, no matter whether it succeeded or not, Zhang Yang would always have an explanation.

During the meal, Zhang Yang kept asking Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jian for filming. It can be heard that although this guy is wearing the hat of a director of a Beijing Film Studio, he is actually a rookie. This is his first time directing a movie.

Wang Dalun couldn't get into the conversation, and foreigner Roy couldn't get into the conversation because he was not good at Chinese, so the two of them sat aside and started chatting quietly. Roy was very willing to communicate with others in Chinese because he was a beginner in Chinese, which was similar to Wang Dalun's previous English learning.

But he learned Chinese before coming to China, and his level was far from reaching the point where he could communicate normally. He didn't understand the meaning of many words and sentences, so Wang Dalun explained it in English.

During the period when Roy came to China, in addition to translators, it is rare that someone talked to him very well. He was very interested and took the initiative to talk to Wang Dalun about his experience.

When Wang Dalun heard this guy, he was really legendary. He just graduated from college at the age of 30. He had a band and made documentaries during college. After graduating from college, he had been in Hollywood for two years and had no reputation. Because he had studied Japanese in college, he later joined a Japanese entertainment company, worked in several TV series and two movies in Japan, and later worked in Taiwan branch. At this time, the fifth-generation Chinese director had just emerged internationally and watched several works by Chinese directors, and he fell in love with Chinese movies.

In his words to Wang Dalun, he should not watch many Hollywood blockbusters, but he cannot escape a good person or a bad person. He either sells drugs or kills the president. It is quite good to watch, but if the world is really like this, it would be sad. However, Chinese films are using new perspectives and techniques to express their history and social and humanities, which made him very interested. More importantly, he noticed that Chinese films are just starting out now and will definitely have great hope in the future. So he developed the idea of ​​coming to China and making Chinese films.

His idea was supported by the boss of Taiwan Rolling Stone Records, so he returned to the United States to study Chinese for two months. Under the introduction of an American teacher, he came to China to attend Beijing Normal University and the Film Academy to learn languages ​​and films.

After listening to this, Wang Dalun really admired the foreigner in front of him. He was almost forty years old and was still studying for the movies.

Zhang Yang was a little surprised to see that Wang Dalun and Roy were having a very speculative conversation, and that one or two very fluent English were occasionally spoken. Nowadays, Chinese people have learned mute English and few people can speak so smoothly. He couldn't help but look at this side a few more times.

Zhang Yuan saw this and smiled: "This kid didn't win the Best Actor at the Matabrata International Film Festival last time, and he's always been holding his energy in his heart."

Zhang Yang was stunned again. It was not difficult to hear from Zhang Yuan's words that Zhang Yuan's doting and love for Wang Dalun. It was the first time he had known Zhang Yuan for so long that he had heard of a newcomer so highly. He actually reached the level of the top twelve actors.

Last time Zhang Yuan finished reading the script, he mentioned that he had a friend who was very suitable for one of the characters. Today he called Wang Dalun and Zhang Yang understood what Zhang Yuan meant very well. But he was a little embarrassed. This was his first movie. He was very eager to make a hit. Therefore, when it comes to choosing actors, both him and the producers prefer to choose some more famous ones, which is more attractive to the audience and more box office guaranteed.

But Wang Dalun is just a newcomer in front of him, which does not match his original positioning of an actor. He is thinking about how to refuse, but when he heard Zhang Yuan say this, he is a little moved. It is certainly a good thing that an actor is famous, but as a director, he prefers actors with superb acting skills.

He thought about it secretly, but took out the script in his bag and handed it to Wang Dalun and said, "Dalun, you can take a look first."

Wang Dalun took it and took a look. The title page read "Photo".

The script is only three thin pieces of paper, and I read it from beginning to end. The story tells the story of a photographer and a perfume girl from encounter, fall in love, leave, and reunion. There are few dialogues, and the memories of the two people after the reunion are used as the narration. The story is very novel and the plot is very attractive, but it is too short to make a movie.

Fortunately, Roy, who was standing by, helped explain that the theme of their movie is to show the love life of contemporary urban people. The whole movie consists of a couple of young people who are about to get married, are in various moods and are in a joyful mood. Five stories are used to interpret the emotional experiences of people of different ages. "Photo" is one of the stories.

Listening to Roy's introduction, Wang Dalun remembered that this movie is often played on TV and has watched it many times, but it is intermittent every time. I have never seen it from beginning to end. I didn't have a deep impression. I only remember that the movie is called "Love Malatang", which contains many guest appearances of Rolling Stone singers, as well as the very innocent Gao Yuanyuan and the innocent Lao Xu.

Oh, by the way, I remember that Lao Xu is the heroine in "Photo". Wang Dalun only remembers that he seemed to be a big big man with big thighs and thick eyes. He felt awkward when he looked at the camera. He didn't look like a photographer at all.

A real photographer must be like Zhang Jian. As soon as he picks up the camera, his posture is definitely the style of a senior photographer. Speaking of which, Zhang Jian has many different postures when taking photos with a camera...

Wang Dalun tried hard to recall Zhang Jian's various actions when he took the photo, and his eyes involuntarily fell on him.

Zhang Jian turned his head accidentally and found that Wang Dalun was staring at him. He was startled and said quickly: "What are you doing? What are you looking at?"

"The script is not about a photographer. I'm thinking about what you look like when you take a photo, otherwise it wouldn't look like holding a camera."

Wang Dalun knew that since Zhang Yang could give him the script, he must have considered the role. He wanted to be prepared, and he didn't mind taking the opportunity to leave a good impression in front of Zhang Yang. He then said to Zhang Jian: "Brother Jian, why don't I follow you during this period and learn to be a photographer?"

Everyone knows how Wang Dalun did so obviously. Moreover, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Jian also know the temper of this guy. When he was filming "East Palace and West Palace", he experienced it in the police station for several days in order to learn the police's behavior and tone.

However, Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. He felt that Wang Dalun at least showed his desire for this role, and he also had the intention to play this role well. As a director, he just likes such actors.

Until the end of the meal, Zhang Yang did not make a positive statement. He just left the script to Wang Dalun. The meaning of this action was to tell Wang Dalun that the director had already considered it. Whether it could work depends on your own.

"Zhang, do you really want to choose this young man?" Roy asked hesitantly after coming out of the hotel.

"Didn't you talked with him just now and it was quite speculative?" Zhang Yang said strangely.

"No, no, no." Roy shook his head, looked cautious and frank, "I admit that Wang is a good person, but I don't want to choose him. This is another matter. After all, he has no popularity now. As a producer, I will be responsible for the future box office."

"That's right. But as a director, I'm not only responsible for the box office, but also for the quality of the film. Since I saw his desire for performance in his eyes, why can't we give him a chance?"

Roy looked at Zhang Yang with a serious expression on his face, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Of course, you are the director, and of course you have the right to choose an actor. I just stand from the producer's perspective and give you my advice."

Zhang Yang nodded and said softly: "I just gave him a chance to audition. If it doesn't work, I certainly wouldn't choose him. Roy, this is the first work we have worked with. If conditions permit, we must choose the most suitable actor, right?"

"Yes, I agree very much with you."

That being said, Zhang Yang knew that Roy was right. This movie was invested by Rolling Stone Records and was also the first movie for Rolling Stone Records to enter the mainland film market. For this reason, they not only cooperated with Xiying to establish a film company, but also sent many of its well-known singers to make guest appearances in the movie. In the final analysis, it is to make a hit in the mainland film market.

It is still very stressful for Zhang Yang to give up a famous actor and choose a newcomer, unless the newcomer can fully prove himself. Of course, in addition to Zhang Yuan's face, he thinks that Wang Dalun left a good and deep impression on him today.

As for the well-known actor, although he had proved his acting skills on the screen, Zhang Yang felt very sad about the actor's character or his self-centered personality flaws, not to mention that the pay paid by that guy was also ridiculously high.

[The 515 is coming soon. I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. It is also love, so it will definitely be better!]
