In Wei Tao's opinion, the love-minded classmate with silly and sweet attributes is just a passing visitor, providing a brief moment of laughter. It will not be a short time before they meet again in life.
Unexpectedly, only two days later, we met again.
Anyone who is familiar with Wei Tao knows that if you are talking about something with someone you don’t know well, it is best to make an appointment at noon. This way it is easier to succeed and everyone is more comfortable. You can have some food and chat a few words, and the time is shorter. It's easy to control and basically doesn't involve drinking or anything like that.
If it were anyone else, the situation in front of him would definitely be a life and death situation, that is, Wei Tao. When he entered the room and took a look, he sat down swaggering, not panicking in his heart, but he also knew that once the famous scenes came, he would continue to do so. All we can do is prevent famous scenes from appearing.
Bao Xiqian is here, Damimi is here, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan are there, Cai Nong is the boss as the boss, and Nazha got the opportunity to audition yesterday and got the role today. It just so happens that today is also a small group of the "Mountain Journey" crew At the end of the wedding banquet, Cai Nong extended a sincere invitation, so Bao Xiqian took advantage of the situation and got together. Her purpose was simple, to see Wei Tao.
If you don't appreciate such a lively scene, you would be missing out on such an excellent opportunity.
"Old Xu, please stay away from me. I won't drink with you. I'm going to vomit after drinking in the past few days. I'm so drunk."
Wei Tao reacts quickly, and there are people who are willing to cooperate with him. Lao Xu, who plays the female lead in "Mountain Journey", becomes his tool to prevent famous scenes from happening to him.
He was such a smart old man. He understood it at a glance. After receiving Wei Tao's look for help, he immediately moved over and took the initiative to sit next to him.
Liu Tianwang didn't come. He was busy reshooting the single scene. The outside world was very curious about this drama. After all, the theme of "loss" has been around for a long time. It has become very popular in the past two years. Countless people are curious about filming such a theme in China. Whether it is successful or not, I worry that there will be the embarrassment of imitating others.
Filming was closed, and the interview with the Sixth Princess only saw special effects makeup that was not inferior to that of foreign countries. Some photos, some short shots without special effects, no specific plot, specific content, and specific shooting texture.
Until now, as filming is approaching, the specific pictures have not been revealed.
Cai Nong is envious. She has always wanted film resources and has the best traffic, but she can only develop at the level of ancient puppets. Even urban dramas are struggling. Seeing Wei Tao doing it casually, "囧囧" broke the ten 100 million, and then "Tang Detective", "The Evil Dead", etc. have also created good results, how could I not have ideas?
If the failure of "囧囧2" had not been put aside, perhaps everyone would not have noticed such a fun-loving investor.
Nothing has changed, only the investors have changed, which doesn’t explain anything. It may be due to the market, and people can no longer accept such hilarious and funny methods.
Continuous success has allowed Wei Tao, a casual investor, to gradually come into everyone's sight. Unknown to others, he is rich and has a unique vision. Although he was given mixed reviews for Damimi's two dramas, she became a big hit. It's true, it is said that a movie with a leading heroine is currently being planned for her.
Needless to say, Big Baby has become famous all of a sudden since he was a transparent child. From a variety show star to an actor, "Skyscraper" is not the mainstay, but in the end it becomes the only focus of the whole show.
The current big production "Mountain Journey" is said to have given them two challenging roles. Seeing that they are making steady progress from TV actors to movie actors, let alone Cai Nong, they are all envious. No matter how Buddhist Brother Xiaoyao is, he has the urge to think You need to get out of the comfort zone of ancient puppet TV series.
Mr. Wei's dinner party was very comfortable to me. There was no need for Cai Nong to ask for an encore. After all, everyone was actually interested.
Seeing Wei Tao and Lao Xu sitting together, both Da Mimi and Da Baobao behaved very calmly, smiling when they should talk, giving the impression that there were no emotional fluctuations at all, and they showed the tenderness they should have when facing Wei Tao. Yes, but they won't take the initiative to do something to swear something.
Bao Xiqian doesn't do anything intentionally. She just has a bad taste and wants to find some fun in her busy work life. I heard that Wei Tao is very interested in this little girl from the Western Regions. That would be interesting. The meal process , and even took the initiative to point out the other person. I have to say that the facial features are really good, and the innate advantage is very great. It is the kind of exquisite facial features that can capture a man's heart at once.
When it comes to facial features alone, there are very few people she has ever met who can have an advantage.
Nazha kept looking at Wei Tao with her bright eyes. Not to mention how big a star she was in normal times and how cool her image was, everything had changed at this moment. "Tang Shi" lowered her body, maintained full respect, frequently toasted, and took the initiative to make friends. The smell is very strong. She is just a lover, not stupid. She has been involved in the circle of graphic models for some time, how could she not understand.
Just like the role of the third female lead she got, it was just a matter of words. Going to the audition was just a formality.
Nazha knew that appearance was very important, but she had never seen it before, why Cai Nong didn't change as she did now.
Now the intention was reached on the same day and the contract was signed directly the next day. Before coming today, all the acting contracts were signed. Even at the school, she did not need to contact her. Someone had already asked for leave for her, and she asked for leave before entering her freshman year. How could there be no objection in the school for such a young boy?
She knew that everything going smoothly came from this man. He was stupid when it came to love issues, but he was also very clear-sighted about things that had nothing to do with that.
A word from Mr. Wei is better than a thousand words of yours, and better than your best preparations.
She has endless yearning for love, and she doesn't want to take shortcuts, even if it means doing some free things, so she behaves very silently at the wine table, doing whatever she is told, without any subjective initiative, to respect Wei Tao. Drinking is also business-like and a little perfunctory.
Of course Wei Tao will not be as familiar with her, so what if he is a star in future generations? Whether it is the aura of his identity, career or his true appearance, which one do I lack? If you follow me, I won't treat you badly and you will get corresponding things. If you don't have that idea, do you really think that I have never seen a woman?
There are already a lot of beautiful women in the house. Although the two of them are not as stunning in real life as they appear on camera, they are still among the beauties. In reality, there are social cow masters like Lao Xu and Da Mimi who can adjust the atmosphere to the best. Needless to say, the atmosphere is noon. Once the women’s persuasion skills come up, the men can only passively enter. combat status.
Liu Tianwang got the news in the afternoon. At first, he thought it was unbelievable. In such a wine game, can the wine sharing mode be started at noon?
He didn't even believe it was true. He finished filming at three o'clock and tried on a suit and leather shoes. He didn't even need to change. He just wiped his face with a warm and wet towel and came over to take a look.
After pushing the door open and coming in, Liu Tianwang stood there and made a joke that made everyone in the room laugh: "Is it too late for me to leave now?"
His Hong Kong accent has a bit of an accent, but it actually sounds like it has some comedy bonus.
The atmosphere in the room can be seen from the rosy cheeks and the wine bottles on the table. This wine is really drunk.
People drink more and more. Fortunately, the place we choose is a small banquet hall in the hotel's Chinese restaurant. If we really drink too much, the room upstairs can also be a place for everyone to rest at any time.
Mr. Xiao Wang is here, taking classmate Xiao Jing who is out for activities, and Dabao Baobao plays the role of a student couple in the play. The serious third male lead has many roles. It can be said that he complements the two roles of Liu Tianwang and Zhu Xichun. Some purity beyond human nature, three men with three styles, can bravely face the zombies for the people they care about.
Wang Shuo is also here. This old man usually doesn't attend similar scenes. The atmosphere is good today. If you look for them one by one, there will be more and more talents.
There was no one holding a cup, and no one was messing around. It was just a drinking party where people were happy and enjoying the drinks slowly. Most of the time in the circle, they wore masks. It was rare that there were more than a few friends who didn’t wear masks. Master Shuo also came to support us. After coming in, I realized that the focus of today's game was Mr. Wei. Because he was here, everyone had a good atmosphere to drink and chat, and then felt like they had a good chat.
Cai Nong quickly arranged for people to stagger the floors upstairs and started to book rooms. It didn't matter if he spent a little money. Such an occasion was rare.
Both the Yanjing circle and the Magic City circle each have some characters at today's wine table. A drink may not determine anything, but at certain times it can determine a potential cooperation meeting.
Only when we can meet can we discuss cooperation and follow-up matters.
Xiao Wang is here, and so is Chen Sicheng. The latter is climbing up the big tree of Qianda. No matter how many twists and turns there are between Brother Media and Qianda, there is still a need for special events. Seeking cooperation.
There must be some contradictions, but because Wei Tao is sitting here as a bridge, everyone is deliberately restrained and will not deliberately engage in tit-for-tat. Otherwise, with Wang Shuo's temper, will Xiao Wang not be angry when he talks eloquently?
From eight or nine people to more than twenty people, almost everyone present was shocked inside and couldn't believe that such a situation would occur.
In the film and television entertainment industry, the circles are also clearly divided. There is no contact on weekdays, and cooperation is a voluntary exchange. How is it possible to have such an open heart chat in private?
The fourth master is also here, and it is kept secret from the outside world, but in the circle, people who are familiar with it know that the fourth master and Ruoxi fell in love due to drama, and are currently avoiding the media and outsiders' love, and will deliberately avoid unnecessary homosexuals. They are afraid of being exposed, afraid of fans' opposition, and afraid of affecting each other's careers.
Da Mimi and Da Baobao can be said to have set a precedent for all younger generations of actors.
Most people don't dare to try the black-red-black-red model, but they also know one fact - emotional problems, even if they are negative, may not necessarily lead to a large number of followers. But even so, no one would easily choose to try their path if they had the choice.
They are all insiders, and Wei Tao has set the tone for drinking lightly and slowly. He can drink as much as he wants, and no one will compete with him. He feels that he is under control. He can go without drinking for a long time. Once he has calmed down, he can raise a glass again. .
You can talk about movies and the industry, you can talk nonsense, you can talk about dissatisfaction, you can talk about anything. By about four o'clock in the afternoon, all the female artists in the scene were drunk and ran away.
It can't be said that he ran away and went upstairs to rest.
The men's banquet became more comfortable, and the dishes were changed twice. Red wine, foreign wine, and white wine, many people came with wine in hand. They didn’t know how much it was mixed with, let alone what round it was.
………………
Nine o'clock.
Everyone called each other and sent messages. For the female generals who had taken a rest, their assistants had already brought a change of clothes. They changed their clothes. When they heard that they were still drinking downstairs, they all looked incredulous and were ready to come over and say something. The greetings were withdrawn, and everyone gained a lot this afternoon.
Apart from anything else, no matter how unfamiliar you are, when you meet on the red carpet at various events and award ceremonies, you will greet someone as an acquaintance, instead of just knowing who you are, saying hello politely, or deliberately pretending not to see you, to avoid The necessary greeting etiquette procedures after making eye contact.
Apart from anything else, when a female artist meets Mr. Xiao Wang, at least she will not come forward in a humble manner and need to be introduced by others to say hello. Mr. Xiao Wang will not show off his identity. After all, in such a relatively private wine party, The content of everyone's chat is very large. Unless the whole person is truly presented, the identity of the company's big boss definitely does not exist. Because of drinking, both of them have shed their identities, and when they meet again they will naturally be more enthusiastic.
Nazha thought Mr. Cai had been drinking again, but when she came in, she realized that he was excited.
The young actress had made an appointment to come down together. No one was carrying her, and everyone who was the slowest had to wait for ten or twenty minutes. When Lao Xu arrived, he didn't have so many taboos. He simply tidied up and wore his hair in a ponytail. She just took off her baseball cap. She had such a sloppy look back then. In the eyes of some people, she was considered sassy or sloppy and handsome. When not in front of the camera, she could just pull on her slippers and go out casually.
Seeing a group of men chatting enthusiastically, and no one knew what was going on, Lao Xu explained to them: "I won't drink anymore. No, I'm studying for filming. Mr. Wei has a main theme movie, um, It can be regarded as a mission. These people were drinking, and you and I supported every word. No, the plot has been discussed. "
ah!
There was no one at the dining table, the chairs and sofas had been moved, and they were sitting in a circle. At this time, they had no image in front of the camera. Headed by Wang Shuo, they chatted directly without any image, and cigars and cigarettes were also used. The scruples were expressed in such a way that the artillery director didn't know when he came. At this time, he was talking loudly with his neck twitching and his face red and thick-necked.
Brother Xiaoyao no longer has the Buddhist style of the past. He sits very attentively, leaning forward, listening quietly, subconsciously raising his body slightly, holding the chair and moving forward a little, wanting to participate. state, for fear of missing any sentence.
Liu Tianwang also took off his suit jacket and pulled out the hem of his shirt from his trousers. He was approaching the age of fifty. What interested him in the script was more about breakthroughs, differences from the past, and new images. experience.
Of course, when it comes to your own film company, you sometimes choose to compromise. As a veteran movie star and an actor in Hong Kong, the word compromise is very normal. I have no regrets about bad movies. Well, everyone is first an individual living in society, and then an idol living in the eyes of fans.
"Do it, why not do it? The bigger the investment, the bigger it will be, and we will do the best." Xiao Wang has the energy of a young man, and his words are sharper. His own resources are limited, and when he is with Wei Tao , he doesn’t mind beheading first and then showing off. Anyway, his parents say he is excellent, so if they play with him, it won’t be a big deal if they kill first and then show off.
"You can do it, but isn't it too dangerous?" The director said that he has also filmed "Assembly" and knows that in war-themed works, every frame of the battle scene not only costs money, but also all the cast and crew. , for every seemingly simple shot, it is likely that the actors and the camera crew have to go through countless iterations before they can capture a satisfactory shot.
Indoor drama, actors and actresses, N-camera fifty times, at most the director has a bad temper. This is not the film era, and the cost of N-camera is not high.
In war scenes, from the personnel to weapons and equipment, to the outdoor weather, to the scheduling of the entire film crew, if the N camera is shot once, the efforts of dozens or hundreds of people for several hours may be wasted. It may be due to the weather. Once N If you use the camera two or three times, you won’t be able to take the photo today, and if God doesn’t cooperate tomorrow, you still won’t be able to take the photo.
These are normal conditions, and there is always a risk of injuries to actors or staff during filming. As producers and directors, we are wary of similar things every day, for fear of receiving similar calls on set.
Wei Tao just said, actors, just come for real. It won't work if any one of them doesn't come. Whether it's filmed or not is one thing. The main actors have also been thrown into the corresponding barracks to train for me. They can't just show off. , Shows are not enough, you have to have the ability to wear real weapons and equipment on your body, and you can really move freely by 'carrying weight'.
Regarding the explosion scenes and many scenes during filming, the word danger was involved, and the director also raised corresponding concerns.
"Five billion. If that's not enough, then one billion."
Wei Tao used only one sentence to make everyone worried about the future of modern war-themed movies, and instantly turned into jaw-dropping disbelief.
"I will invest. I will not consider the issue of funds. I will find the best special effects and make the best special effects. Hollywood all uses green screens. We need real texture and the assistance of special effects. I will solve the prerequisites. Then From the script to the actors to the shooting, do you think there are any problems?"
Try something new, if someone invests and loses money but not mine, is there still a problem?
The biggest problem was solved, and everyone at the scene swallowed their saliva subconsciously. No matter what the project looked like in the end, being able to participate in a super large project meant that the status of the celebrity was raised.
"Heroes" back then had mixed reviews or mixed reviews. Does it matter? For everyone involved, first of all, in the eyes of the audience, you are already a big shot, otherwise you would not be qualified to participate.
Serving as the director, main actor and other important positions in such a film will definitely be an extremely brilliant addition to your career resume.
The theme of war is inevitably associated with blockbusters. For any actor, if you make a movie and get recognized by the film industry, you are a movie actor. If you want to improve yourself, you have to participate in big productions and be able to work in big productions. Those who carry it are the movie stars.
Look at the 50-year-old Liu Tianwang who looks eager to try. Brother Xiaoyao can't hold back his inner ambition at all. Classmate Xiaojing has looked at Mr. Xiao Wang with pleading eyes more than once. Fourth Master I was originally a co-op player, but now I am in the middle of the game.
"Adaptation of real events, evacuation of civilians, evacuation of civilians from Leah. I want the warships shot in the movie to be real. They are not screenshots or misappropriation of other videos. They are for our movie and give us a certain amount according to our requirements. The shooting support. Even if it is a staged shot, it must cooperate with our staged shot."
wipe!
Wang Shuo said nothing. He leaned back and gave a thumbs up. Regardless of success or failure, he had such courage that he would not have dared to be so crazy when he was young. But for his appetite, money is one thing. Whether he dares to play and whether he dares to put aside the money issue is one thing.
The director was also a little confused. He was not boasting. He could count on one hand the number of directors in China who were qualified to invest such a large amount of money. He asked himself, if you are given a chance, can you handle it? Do you dare to leave? You must know that although the money is not yours, once it is lost, in the eyes of capital, your value will fall directly to the bottom. Except for Wei Tao, who is stupid and has a lot of money, who would dare to play like this? To play with him, you have to spend your career accompanying him.
"I want airplanes, I want tanks, I want missiles, I want multiple scenes with at least dozens of group performances, I want urban street battles, I want outdoor encounters, I want tough battles, I want people in the sandstorms all over the sky. In a tank battle, I want a showdown between land and sea missiles. I want a display of all the most advanced weapons for individual soldiers and teams that can be displayed to the outside world. The battle I want to present is not about brothers rushing forward, not blocking the muzzle, but the final A reasonable team cooperates to fight, presenting the most reasonable but also the coolest visual blockbuster."
Everyone made the same swallowing movement. They could not help but imagine how the scene Wei Tao mentioned would look like. They also knew that his "whimsical" idea was really difficult to achieve, and if it was difficult to achieve, they would have to think about it. , what if it happens?
"With all these, the script is insignificant." Mr. Xiao Wang sighed with a wry smile as a producer and investor. As long as the story of a blockbuster movie can be explained clearly and logically, it is qualified. If there is still something unexpected, Something can be called excellent.
Movies can be a medium to convey ideas, or they can also be a medium to simply convey audio-visual enjoyment. The needs are different and the choices are different. There is no right or wrong.
"The story is adapted from real events, the background is blurred, and the film world framework is established. I think it will be unfolded from the perspective of a special operations team to tell a story. There are some branches under the main trunk, which are arranged into different battles in different scenes. , as long as you don’t let people see you tired and the whole process is enjoyable, I think it’s fine. As for the required main theme and color, it’s enough to put this kind of film right there. There is no need to deliberately describe and constantly exaggerate it in the script. That would be more than enough..."
When everyone's discussion becomes one person's voice, it seems that what I thought was 'whimsical' before is now possible.
To promote our country's prestige, these four words are enough.
As long as the events involved in the movie are shown, these four words will be there, and everything you want will be there. As a member of China, we should be extremely proud. When we go abroad, with a small passport in our hands, we will truly The meaning is not to lead to any corner of the world, but to any corner of the world, when we encounter danger, it will be our backbone, the motherland, and will take us home.
