Chapter 90 Attention
Xu Jizhou, Xu Rong and Gao Han looked at the hung-up phone call, and while being stunned, the feelings were different.
After a series of complicated interweaving expressions on Xu Jizhou's face suddenly fell into silence.
No matter how big the show is, how famous the directors are directed by, how many great investors produce, from planning, preparation, shooting, distribution to final broadcast, compromise and concessions are always inevitable.
Even a super luxurious tribute film like "The Founding of the Party" is still hard to escape. In order to pass the review a while ago, Huang Jianxin had to delete the scenes and some plots of more than 60 actors.
Judging from the tone of the "Mr. Ma" just now, the crew needs to compromise this time.
Xu Jizhou is a middle-aged man, so after being scolded and hung up the phone, he was angry and angry, but after being angry, he was more frustrated. He had no place to complain about his grievances, so he could only digest himself in silence.
He is just a not-famous director. He has no absolute say in the filming crew, not to mention the boss of the previous film and television company. Even if the big director is in such a situation, he often cannot avoid compromise.
Gao Han, who looks fierce and big and thick, looks at his nose and his heart. A few minutes ago, he was already angry, but at this moment, he understood that the direction of the matter was no longer something that he, the executive director, could argue with.
The three of them were silent for a while. Xu Rong looked at Xu Jizhou and asked, "What is the origin of this Mr. Ma?"
"The general manager of Star International Jingcheng Branch can be said to be their spokesperson in the mainland."
Xu Rong recalled the accent just now and asked, "Nation from Tai Province?"
"Taiwanese people."
Xu Ronglairan, in order to promote cross-strait cultural exchanges, subtly increase Taiwanese compatriots' understanding of the mainland, and enhance their sense of belonging to the country, the mainland has always encouraged Taiwanese artists to develop in the mainland. The Golden Horse Awards can have a huge influence in the mainland, which is also due to this.
However, this encouragement and recognition made most Taiwanese people mistakenly believe that the mainland is looking up to Taiwan's advanced entertainment industry.
Especially the audience and fans' pursuit of celebrities has led to a gradual change in the mentality of many Taiwanese entertainment industry practitioners.
Xu Jizhou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's finish the work, I'll have a good talk with them tomorrow."
"etc."
Xu Rong stopped him and said, "That's all that. Let's change the actors. There are not many scenes anyway. If you hurry up, you will probably be able to finish the filming in three days."
Xu Jizhou was frightened by Xu Rong's proposal and said, "Teacher Xu, you can't just say this casually. These people don't know anything else. Once we do that, they will be put on the hat that destroys cross-strait cultural exchanges. Who will take it?"
Xu Rong said firmly: "I'll do it!"
Seeing Xu Jizhou's hesitation look, Xu Rong continued, "I want to see how the boss of a Taiwan branch ruined our "Selection"."
"Teacher Xu, don't be on the top, bear the calm for a while, take a step back and the sky is wide open." Xu Jizhou felt that Xu Rong was still too young and immediately advised, "Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are not just in the mainland, but mainly because they have a large number of fans in the mainland. In the eyes of their fans, they are born better than us and nobler than us. Once a dispute arises, it is natural that we are wrong."
The fans of mainland artists in China are far less than those of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Moreover, in recent years, there have been very obvious signs of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists joining each other. Once public opinion is launched and a group of ridicule is formed, even if the crew is rational, it will become a party to criticize.
Xu Rong smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Director Xu, we treat them as brothers, but they may just treat us as cash machines, just say that if they secretly take things like this during the shooting, they will change to Hong Kong and Taiwan teams, will they dare?"
"As for public opinion, I just happened to see who are stingy."
"Xu, Teacher Xu?" Xu Jizhou looked at Xu Rong with a cold face blankly. At this moment, it seemed like he had known him for the first time, because in the past, Xu Rong always smiled all day long, and kept being quite polite to anyone.
Seeing that Xu Jizhou was still hesitating, Xu Rong couldn't help but frown, but soon, he understood the reason roughly. He leaned on the People's Art Theater and was not afraid of some smelly fish and rotten shrimps joining together to fight himself. However, Xu Jizhou is just an ordinary director. Once he is pushed to the forefront, under the huge pressure of public opinion, he may be doomed.
Xu Rong waved to Wang Yaqin in the distance and said, "Yaqin, get me the phone number."
"Oh, Teacher Xu, give it." Wang Yaqin rushed to the three of them like a gust of wind and handed over the phone.
Xu Rong took the phone, opened the address book, found a phone number and dialed it out. It was already late at night, and it took a while before the phone was connected.
Xu Jizhou glanced at the three words "Chen Runsheng" in the call notes, raised his head and looked at Xu Rong in surprise. He did not expect that Xu Rong and the boss still had a friendship.
Xu Rong noticed Xu Jizhou's gaze and turned on the hands-free, and smiled and said, "Brother Chen, aren't you sleeping?"
"I'm going to fall asleep soon. Can you stop being in the middle of the night...wait, is there something big problem with the crew?"
"The problem is not big, but there are some small things that you have to make an idea..."
Xu Rong briefly told Chen Runsheng about the past. After listening to it, he did not get angry or angry, but said little carelessly: "Star International, right? I understand."
When Xu Rong thought the phone was over, Chen Runsheng's voice came out again: "Hey, I said, can you stop calling me in the middle of the night if you have such a big deal in the future? You would have to have a bad sleep, but I would have to brew it for another two hours."
"Haha, my fault, my fault, I will punish myself three times for apologizing."
"You can't help but you punish yourself for being so beautiful, but I have to send you back."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jizhou looked at Xu Rong in confusion because he did not judge what the boss meant from the words of the big boss.
"I know." It seems that no matter how you understand it, just like "reading" when placing documents, it can be understood as "agree" or "disagree".
Xu Rong put his phone into his pocket, turned his head, and said to Xu Jizhou: "Don't you feel at ease now? Go and find an actor."
Xu Jizhou wanted to ask again what was going on. When the boss did not make a clear statement, he changed the person?
But he didn't open his mouth because he vaguely felt that Xu Rong asked him to listen to this phone call, which was definitely not a loss, but he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Asked, I seemed stupid.
However, since Xu Rong had the idea, the boss also said "I understand". Even if this matter is revealed, the settlement of the matter cannot be settled on him. Instead, he asked, "Where can I find the right person to go?"
"It's hard to find a four-legged toad. There are actresses with two legs everywhere. It's really not possible. I have someone who will be in place tomorrow."
Xu Jizhou immediately said overjoyed: "Ah, I'm sorry, Teacher Xu."
When Xu Rong heard this, he was shocked. He stared at Xu Jizhou for a long time. He was so angry that he looked at him in confusion and asked, "Director Xu, what are you afraid of?"
He really couldn't understand Xu Jizhou's thoughts, just like he couldn't understand the behavior of many people in this industry flattering Hong Kong and Taiwan.
He was talking about using his own people, because once he used his people, Xu Jizhou had basically completely cut off the relationship between this matter. The layman did not understand, but when the industry looked at it, he knew that he, the producer, had taken Wu Qing away.
Xu Jizhou gave a smile: "Teacher Xu, say what you don't like to hear, you have crazy capital because they dare not and cannot do anything to you. However, Xu Jizhou, I don't have that capital, and I have to be a human being with my tail between my tail."
Xu Rong looked at Xu Jizhou, who no longer dodged his eyes and no longer hesitated tone, sighed silently and said, "Sorry, I'm talking too hard."
Xu Jizhou shook his head and said, "To be honest, I was also very frustrated when I was talking on the phone just now. Thank you Teacher Xu for letting me off."
Xu Rong reached out and patted his shoulder, trying to say something, but in the end, he just said, "Go to finish the work."
Perhaps a few years ago, he was in Xu Jizhou's position and made a decision similar to Xu Jizhou. Just as Xu Jizhou said, without that capital, he had to be a human being with his tail between his tail.
"Stop work, stop work!"
After getting on the bus, Xu Rong said to the driver directly: "I won't go back to the hotel today, go to my house."
He had to go back and take Xu Xing over to play the role of Zhao Yan. As for Xiao Zhang, don’t waste time shooting anti-Japanese war films that are meaningless to the actors. Now she is following Feng Yuanzheng to rehearse the scene, which is many times better than playing an optional role.
When Xu Rong returned home and entered the bedroom, she found that the bedding was neatly arranged, but there was no trace of Xiao Zhang at all.
"Strange, where did Xiao Zhang go?"
He first went to the study room and opened the door. It was pitch black inside. When he turned on the light, he saw the "Home" he had put on before leaving. He scratched his head speechlessly. He was really, how could Xiao Zhang come to the study room?
Then he went to the KTV and gym downstairs. After walking around for a while, he still didn't find Xiao Zhang's figure.
Standing in the living room, his eyes scanned the rooms, and finally he remembered that there was another room where Xiao Zhang might have not checked it.
Push open the door of the practice room and the light inside is on.
In a corner of the room, the massage chair originally placed in the gym was moved here at some point.
Xiao Zhang's lonely head was hung obliquely on the neck pillow of the massage chair.
Xu Rong walked away from the massage chair with a slight foot, and saw Xiao Zhang's body quietly nestling in the massage chair, his mouth slightly open, and the smell of "roaring" was sleeping.
Half-squatted down, he wanted to reach out to touch her face, but a faint smell of sweat poured into his nostrils first.
He couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Zhang was unhappy in learning his performance style and could not learn it. Although Feng Yuanzheng's performance style is suitable for her, the disadvantages are also very obvious.
tired.
Because the core of Gepai training method is to first reach the limit of the human body, either the physiological limit or the psychological limit.
Just half-squatted, he looked at Xiao Zhang carefully. Her mouth would occasionally squirm, and probably dreamed of something delicious in his dream.
Instead of waking her up, he picked up Xiao Zhang with slight hands, turned off the lights, and walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as he put Xiao Zhang on the bed, he didn't even have time to cover the quilt, Xiao Zhang opened his eyes slowly and looked at him in a daze: "Teacher Xu, are you back?"
"Stay sleeping, I'll take a shower first."
"oh."
After Xu Rong finished taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom. He saw Xiao Zhang looking at him with two eyes: "Oh, my stupid Ou Doudou, why don't you say a word in advance when you come back?"
Xu Rong looked at her in confusion and asked, "Have you mixed up with the Japanese drama recently?"
"Hahaha."
Xu Rong remembered something and said, "By the way, since you are awake, go down and say to Xu Xing, get up early tomorrow and go to the crew with me."
Xiao Zhang pinched his pajamas and put them in front of his nose and smelled them. He frowned slightly, got up, and asked, "Xu Xing and you go to the crew together? What are you doing?"
Xu Rong had already thought of the reason before she came back and said: "A actress in the crew quit her role temporarily and a role was vacant. The director didn't have a suitable candidate, so I'll recommend it."
This is his usual way. He never tells Xiao Zhang how sinister the hearts of people are, how rogue and even shameless they will do things, because the more they know and the more they know, the less fantasies she has about this industry.
Just like in the past, she always dreamed of becoming a movie star, but now, her idea of becoming a star has become much less slim with her understanding of this industry.
Sometimes Xu Rong is not sure whether he is doing it right or not, but when doing it, he doesn't think so much, because making his family live a better life is one of the meanings of his efforts.
"Oh, OK." Xiao Zhang pulled his shoes on and walked towards the door, saying, "You should go to bed quickly. I'll take a shower later. Today I'll be exhausted."
"OK."
The next day, the crew did not announce the news that Wu Qing was fired, but no one was a fool. From the first scene of the remake, everyone realized that Wu Qing, who had secretly left last night, had been replaced.
On the morning of the third day, Wu Qing came back, but this time she was accompanied by not only her assistant, but also a middle-aged woman in her thirties with an oval face and a middle-aged man with a low head and a slightly lowered head.
