It is said that the world is so twisted sometimes!
When Jiang Zhe got the script and solicited investment everywhere, no film and television company was willing to invest.
Because in their eyes, the combination of [Jiang Zhe + Ning Hao] is worthless.
But when Jiang Zhe started looking for actors, the situation turned around.
Even Jiang Zhe himself is a little surprised. With Nortel as his backing, he seems to be considered a figure in the industry?
Of course, no matter how arrogant Jiang Zhe was, he was still shocked when he saw Jiang Wen.
After all, this owner is a real boss.
Even if we just talk about the energy in the film and television industry, Feng Xiaogang may be inferior.
Even though Feng Xiaogang's box office results directly beat Jiang Wen, he may not be as prestigious as the latter in the industry!
So when Jiang Wen stood in front of Jiang Zhe and expressed his desire to play the role of "Old Zhao", Jiang Zhe agreed without saying a word, lest he suddenly regretted it.
Although Jiang Zhe agreed readily, Ning Hao is now a little numb!
Yes, Jiang Wen is indeed one of the best actors in China.
But...but this guy is also one of the top drama tyrants in the country!
You must know that when he was just starting out, he dared to argue with the great director Xie Jin on the set about changing the play.
Later, after graduation, he and Lao Mouzi quarreled from beginning to end while filming a movie called "Red Sorghum."
Compared with him, a top-level drama tyrant, Jiang Zhe can only be regarded as a young apprentice at best!
No wonder Ning Hao's heart trembled when he heard his name.
There is no way, he really has no confidence that he can control such an actor!
It's just that Jiang Zhe didn't take it seriously when he saw it.
In fact, he never thought of hiring Jiang Wen. He originally wanted to cast Jiang Wu for the role of Lao Zhao.
But he didn't expect that he was a step too late. When the script was sent to him, Jiang Wu had already accepted a business war drama "Opening".
Even if the contract is signed, he is still the male lead, so naturally he won't be able to squeeze in a schedule.
In the end, Jiang Wen, who came to visit, accidentally saw the script and came uninvited.
It seems that Jiang Zhe's luck has arrived.
After all, counting from the year 2000 when Jiang Wen was banned from directing, this year is the last year that Jiang Wen will be banned from directing.
Therefore, while Jiang Wen was excited this year, he was also extremely itchy.
Not long ago, he also played Huang Taiji in the TV series "The Great Qing Dynasty".
It can be said that this guy has reached the point where he doesn't care whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as it is enjoyable.
As for supporting Jiang Zhe, that doesn't even matter.
If it hadn't been for the addiction he had while directing "Looking for a Gun", he might not have been able to survive the past five years.
What? You said the director of "Looking for the Gun" is Lu Chuan?
What an international joke!
This film is like Jiang Wen from the inside out, so does it still matter who the director is?
As for the director secretly hiding in the room and crying, that has nothing to do with Jiang Wen.
After all, he hates grown men and women bitching the most!
That's why when Wang Zhongjun was comforting Lu Chuan, he said, "Why do you care about who the child's biological father is? As long as the father's column says you, that's all!"
I don’t know if it was this sentence that completely opened up Lu Chuan’s creative ideas!
…
"As for you, Mouse, you are the director and I am the screenwriter, how can you still make the actors go crazy?"
After listening to Ning Hao's popular science, Jiang Zhe felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
You must know that the producers, screenwriters, and directors are all them, so what can happen no matter how awesome the actors are?
Yes, Jiang Wen is indeed a top celebrity, but he can't be unreasonable, right?
Besides, if he really doesn't want fame, Jiang Zhe doesn't have to give him face.
After all, all his wealth is invested in this film. Whoever dares to destroy Jiang Zhe will not care about his seniors!
Jiang Zhe thought so, and he was indeed mentally prepared for it!
Only after officially signing the contract did Jiang Zhe realize that something seemed wrong.
…
The next morning, Nortel small conference room.
Jiang Wen smiled kindly at the two of them as soon as they met, as if he was afraid of scaring them.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Zhe immediately felt relieved and secretly laughed that Ning Hao was still too timid.
But as soon as he had this idea, he saw Jiang Wen taking out a script full of modification marks.
This immediately stunned Jiang Zhe, and Ning Hao couldn't help but turn pale.
Sure enough, the familiar Jiang Wen finally appeared!
Jiang Wen himself didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he praised with a smile:
"This book of yours is indeed interesting, much better than Lu Chuan's!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Wen immediately looked at Jiang Zhe with interest and said curiously:
"Azhe, since you can write such a book, why don't you shoot it yourself? It's not that difficult, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhe immediately shut himself up.
"Brother, do you think anyone can direct and act like you?"
Jiang Zhe wanted to say this, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.
There is no way, it would be a pity if such a cheap big shot got angry and left.
So Jiang Zhe could only grit his teeth and say with a sincere smile:
"I really don't have much experience in directing. I think Mouse is more talented in this area."
After that, Jiang Wen couldn't say anything else, so Jiang Zhe introduced directly:
"Ning Hao, who graduated from the photography department of Nortel in 1999, is also the director of our drama!"
When he came to the last few words, Jiang Zhe's tone became even more serious.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen smiled even brighter after hearing this.
"Director Ning? Okay, I like communicating with the director the most!"
Having said that, Jiang Wen immediately and enthusiastically discussed the script with Ning Hao, wanting to understand the director's creative philosophy.
Jiang Zhe couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
It seems that Ning Hao is indeed overthinking, at least judging from the previous contact, Jiang Wen is quite easy to get along with.
There was just one thing that Jiang Zhe didn't expect, which was that Ning Hao was speechless when Jiang Wen asked.
As a result, the screenwriter Jiang Zhe was also involved.
So Jiang Zhe was shocked to discover that it was the reasonable Jiang Wen who was the most terrifying!
…
"Azhe, you wrote very well in the front, but why is the line broken in the back?"
In the conference room, the originally clean and tidy desktop was already covered with manuscript papers.
With a strange look on his face, Jiang Wen picked up a piece of script filled with comments and said:
"This book of yours seems to be telling the story of the ex and the current one, but is this just the overt theme?"
As he said this, he nodded to Jiang Zhe, who was quite appreciative, and praised:
"But your hand is really beautiful. There are two lines, one light and one dark. I only saw it the second time!"
"Tsk tsk~ On the surface, it is discussing the conflict between the ex and the current one, but in fact it is discussing the difference between "the older generation's view of love" and "the younger generation's view of love"... An urban romance film actually... It gives you a sense of the times! It’s interesting! Hahaha~ You really have something good!”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhe was stunned.
Although Jiang Zhe wanted to say that he was overthinking it, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Jiang Wen said seemed to make sense.
So Jiang Zhe opened and closed his mouth slightly and finally closed it. He could only force a smile and nodded...
