Chapter 132 Tricky Expert 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
When Xu Wenruo returned to the film and television base, several major actors had already arrived, Meng Da, Wei Ying, Wu Xuan, Wang Kai and others.
Xu Wenruo actually does not have much requirement for the actors' acting ability. It mainly depends on whether these actors are careful, because Xu Wenruo's shooting technique is very friendly to the actors and can allow them to get into the state faster.
With the strength of Wu Xuan and Wang Kai, there is no problem at all. Not to mention the experience in the five seasons of "Grave Robbers", just say that they have received many invitations from film and television dramas recently, so they are no longer the newcomer who has no experience at the time.
But looking at the entire crew, there are basically superstars with no box office appeal. Even Xu Wenruo, the most famous of these people, has appeared on the big screen for the first time. No one dares to guarantee that Xu Wenruo will definitely be able to let the audience enter the cinema, and everything depends on the quality of the movie.
After Xu Wenruo joined the crew, the first thing he saw was a producer sent by Xingxun Pictures. This was a woman in her thirties with short shoulder-length hair and black-framed glasses. She looked very intellectual.
After seeing Xu Wenruo, she showed a faint smile on her face, and she was calm while walking, looking inexplicably demeanor.
"Director Xu, hello, I am Qin Yun, I have been obsessed with Daming for a long time, and I finally met today."
"Hello, producer Qin Yun, I hope we can work together sincerely and make an excellent movie with great care."
Xu Wenruo's words were quite straightforward, and when she heard Qin Yun's face, she was stunned, but she quickly reacted, and her face still kept a smile.
"That's of course. I came here to cooperate with Director Xu to make an excellent movie. Although we are only working together for the first time, our Starxun Pictures must be Director Xu's most loyal partner. We have common interests. Please rest assured of this."
"Of course, Xingxun Group has been kind to me, and I have always kept this in my heart."
Xu Wenruo nodded to Qin Yun. He could see that this Ms. Qin Yun had no idea of causing trouble, and clearly knew what she was doing when she came to the crew this time.
After understanding this, Xu Wenruo's concerns were eliminated. While walking into the crew, he told Qin Yun about the characteristics and advantages of this movie.
Stephen Chow has many classic comedy movies, but it is not very suitable for Xu Wenruo to use them now. This time, it is just that Xu Wenruo wants to try it first, so there is no need to use the big move as soon as he comes up. So Xu Wenruo chose a movie that is not very famous but full of nonsensical style.
The title of the film is "Trick Expert", which is a relaxed and funny comedy. It can be said that it is not difficult to shoot, and the plot of the story is not very complicated. It is very suitable for Xu Wenruo to take it out as his debut movie.
Of course, Xu Wenruo plays the protagonist Gu Jing, who is his younger brother Che Wenjing, while Wu Xuan plays the older brother Che Wenjie, and Meng Da plays the father of the two brothers Che Qinren.
As for the two heroines, Cheng Le'er, Xu Wenruo plans to let Wei Ying play, and another female character Banana, Xu Wenruo renamed her to Qiu Lin, intending to let Qi Yue play it. After all, this is not Xiangjiang, and it is rarely called an English name. The story is also moved to the Demon City, which is also an open metropolis.
Apart from making some life-like changes, Xu Wenruo did not shake the framework rhythm of the entire script. The story itself is very simple and there are no drastic changes.
After all, this is just a comedy for relaxing entertainment. It is just to make the audience laugh. Apart from this, it does not have much significance. Xu Wenruo did not forcefully add some great principles to the film. Doing so is purely a spoiler.
If Xu Wen wanted to make a movie with deep meaning, he could change it. There was no need to hold on to the movie. There were countless movies with deep meaning in his mind.
But those are not necessarily suitable for him. Now he only needs to make a movie that is loved by the audience. Even if he completes the task, "Talk Expert" is a good choice.
Xu Wenruo talked with Qin Yun, and then found that the producer also knew how to shoot movies. She was invited by Xingxun Pictures from outside for a large sum of money. However, although Xingxun Pictures has invested a lot in recent years, it has not made any splashes in the market.
Although Xingxun Pictures is backed by a large group and is rich, it has just entered the film industry and does not have much experience. The most important thing is that they have no theaters, no agency, and no big stars. The only advantage may be the online promotion channel of Xingxun Video.
Therefore, the film and television dramas filmed by Xingxun Film and Television in the past two years have been lukewarm. They can get films from theaters, but not many of them. They can invite some big stars, but they have to pay more. Once the box office fails, they will lose all their money.
It is precisely because executives are cautious and do not invest on a large scale from the beginning, but choose to make steady progress and use the channels of Xingxun Video to create many variety shows and online dramas. On the one hand, they can cultivate their own stars and on the other hand, they can also accumulate experience.
But in terms of film, Xingxun Film has not stopped its actions. They chose to invest in some high-quality low-cost movies or join some big productions. Although Xingxun Film and Television has always been in a lukewarm state, they have been very big and have taken every step very solidly, but they have also invested a lot.
However, in the face of this kind of achievements, the senior executives of Xingxun Group were not very satisfied, because they wanted to enter the film and television industry just to get a share of the pie. Although they also understood that this steady and steady approach was a very wise decision, they could not accept that they did not achieve corresponding achievements with considerable investment every year.
Xu Wenruo's appearance gave Xingxun Pictures an opportunity. They were very optimistic about Xu Wenruo's future, so they wanted to make a good relationship with Xu Wenruo and cooperate with him in the future. Xingxun Pictures did not regard Xu Wenruo as a savior, but as an investment in the future.
Even if Xu Wenruo's movie fails, they will not change their views on Xu Wenruo, because it is too difficult for a company like Xingxun Pictures to find a good director. A talented young director like Xu Wenruo is the target they are worthy of their bets.
...
"Hello Director Xu, you are here."
When Meng Da saw Xu Wenruo coming to the crew, he ran to Xu Wenruo with a smile on his face. The role he played this time was much more than in the past, and he was still very grateful to Xu Wenruo.
Meng Da has also thought of one thing clearly in the past two days. He has wasted half of his life and no one appreciated him at all, even though his acting skills are not worse than anyone else.
Since Xu Wenruo valued him very much and handed him an olive branch, Meng Da must certainly seize this opportunity. Even if there is only a slight chance, he will not miss it easily.
"We're about to start shooting, are you ready?"
"I'm ready and it feels great now."
"Oh? Do we want to try the show?"
Xu Wenruo raised his eyebrows, wanting to see how Meng Da was preparing. More than a week ago, Xu Wenruo had sent Meng Da's script to him.
The scenes of Cha Qinren, played by Meng Da, are actually very easy and funny. His scenes with Cha Wenjing take on half of the jokes in the movie. Therefore, whether this movie can be made well depends on their performance.
"No problem, Director Xu, I definitely can do it with you if you want to play that scene."
"Do you want it? Look at the script."
"No, I remember it all in my heart."
Meng Da was very confident and smiling on his face. In fact, he was still a little nervous inside. It wasn't that Meng Da felt guilty because of bragging. He had indeed ruined his script. Meng Da was just afraid that his interpretation would not meet Xu Wenruo's standards, which would affect the weight in Xu Wenruo's heart.
"Then let's start with a scene where Gu Jing and Che Qinren and his son recognize each other."
"No problem, I'm ready."
"Prepare the prop group for a little while, let's move first."
Xu Wenruo gave instructions to the crew members, and the entire crew began to act in an orderly manner. These were all staff members who had been with Xu Wenruo for more than a year and had a very tacit understanding of each other.
Xu Wenruo gave them a good salary. Even when there was no show before, he could still get a job at the film and television base. After all, those tourists also want to try the filming feeling, and the entire crew can make money in the film and television base.
What's more, Xu Wenruo is not a stingy person. The salary and benefits are given sufficient. The treatment of these staff members is not comparable to that of many crew members. Therefore, they are also very clean and work hard.
In fact, these staff members also knew very well in their hearts. Who treats them well and who treats them badly? The people's eyes are sharp and they have a scale in their hearts. Xu Wenruo only gave high treatment. If he worked hard, he would receive a lot of rewards. The previous season 2 of "Grave Robbers" was broadcasted, and Xu Wenruo sent another big red envelope.
I believe that this will be a lot of money when the online dramas are played in the next few seasons, so the staff have hope in their hearts and look forward to making another good movie, and Boss Xu can eat meat and they can drink soup with them.
...
Xu Wenruo and others came to a dilapidated room, which was the main scene of this scene. Xu Wenruo turned his gaze to Meng Da, and he nodded at Xu Wenruo.
So Meng Da first walked into the room with a middle-aged woman, and then the two started to have a very skillful conversation. Judging from their expressions and movements, they quickly got into the show, both experienced veteran actors.
"A Jing, he is really like you. When you are nervous, you will grab your armpits. When you are happy, you will grab your thighs. When you are erotic, you will scratch your head. It's exactly like you."
When the actress who is still charming is chanting the lines, Meng Da is doing the same movement as the description next to her, but the movement is full of vulgarity.
"Do you remember that Xiaojie didn't speak very late when he was a child, and then he called you dad as soon as he opened his mouth."
After Meng Da heard the keywords, he shook his whole body tilted back and forth, like a mental illness. The staff on the side almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Only the producer Qin Yun frowned, as if he didn't like this style very much.
"I really didn't lie to you, Xiao Jing is really exactly the same as you."
"It's really that amazing."
After saying this line, it was time for Xu Wenruo to appear. He found a pair of broken flip flops from the garbage dump in the room, and then walked up the stairs step by step.
When Xu Wenruo went up the stairs, his temperament changed a lot. It seemed that he was no longer the usual slightly cold Xu Wenruo, but the silly Che Wenjing looked like he was stupid.
After climbing the stairs, Che Wenjing walked to a hole in front of a broken door and stubbornly opened the door with the key. After closing the door, she suddenly realized that she forgot to pull out the key, and then got out of the door hole and pulled it out.
Before he took two steps, he suddenly turned around and locked the door bolt on the door. The whole process was full of absurdity, but it also showed Che Wenjing's silly appearance.
After entering the room, Che Wenjing poured chili oil on a piece of stinky tofu. Che Qinren, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but mutter something.
"He also likes to eat stinky tofu."
"It's really so spicy."
Just as Che Wenjing was about to put a piece of tofu chunk covered with a lot of chili in his mouth, he suddenly stopped and scratched his head.
"No, can you be so kind to stinky tofu?"
When Che Wenjing heard the movement, she raised her head in confusion, looked at Che Qinren, who was hiding in the corner with a silly look, and shouted softly.
"Is anyone?"
"No one, no one!"
"oh."
Then Che Wenjing lowered her head obediently, thinking that there was really no one, but Che Qinren was quickly pushed out and a father-son recognition story with Che Wenjing.
Che Qinren showed a joyful expression on his face, his eyes completely narrowed. The two of them scratched their armpits while staring at each other in circles. The scene was once very strange.
The two of them circled each other and then called out at the same time.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Then the two people were like crazy, and they waved forward and backward at the same time. The picture could not bear to look directly at it for a while. It was clearly a warm scene of recognizing relatives, but it was like two patients communicating their condition.
After the father and son met, Che Qinren gave Che Wenjing a meeting gift and then began to take it out from his neck.
"Golden necklace?"
"No, it's a very special rope for you."
"It smells so good, what to make it up?"
"It's made of dad's hair."
In order to thank Che Qinren, Che Wenjing gave Che Wenjing his secret stinky tofu to Che Qinren. Seeing the stinky tofu covered with a pile of red peppers, Che Qinren's expression was very embarrassing. Even the wrinkled wrinkled on his face because of his smile was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
But Che Wenjing still forcibly stuffed the secret pepper into Che Qinren's mouth. This scene of a father being kind and filial son being filial is really touching.
