My idol is myself

Chapter 176 Stress and Excitement

It took Xu Wenruo half a month to finally write the script of "Let the Bullets Fly". After Xu Wenruo sent it to the third master, it didn't take long for Xu Wenruo's cell phone to ring. Excited voice.

"Okay, this book is good, it's written in depth, it's really great, I like it very much."

At this time, the third master seemed a little incoherent, but it was obvious that he loved this book so much that it was difficult to control his emotions. This is very difficult for the third master who has been in the film and television industry for many years.

"It's good that you are satisfied, so I can rest assured, but there is still one problem that needs your help."

"Tell me, I must make this film."

"It's just that the three leading actors need you to act. Ordinary actors can't handle this script, so they have to hire some big names in the industry. I, a junior, don't have such a big face."

What Xu Wenruo said is also true. Although he is currently a hot figure in the film and television industry, for some old seniors with superb acting skills, Xu Wenruo's name is not enough. Join us, so this matter can only be done by the third master.

"That's no problem. Such a good script would be a waste if we don't find some good actors. If you have any good choices, let me ask you."

"The role of master must be played by Uncle Ge. I think only he can play the role of master. There are not many actors who can play Zhang Mazi. Teacher Jiang Wen fits the temperament of this character very well. suitable."

"Good guy, it's more difficult for you to find someone than the other, Ge You, I'm sure I'll invite you, but Jiang Wen is a thorny guy, and few people in the crew can hold him back He, don't ask the easy gods to send the gods difficult, are you sure you want to find him?"

Hearing Xu Wenruo's choice, the third master was also very surprised. Of course, there is nothing to say about the acting skills of these two people. They are both among the best in the industry, but neither of them is easy to invite. Ge You has already made a name for himself. Filming is purely a hobby, so he is very picky. Scripts, ordinary people simply can't invite them.

Not to mention Jiang Wen, a well-known actor in the industry, when he was an actor, he was more powerful than a director. A young director like Xu Wenruo couldn't control him at all, so when Xu Wenruo named Jiang Wen's candidate, the third master That's why I'm so surprised.

"That's right, Teacher Jiang Wen is very suitable, and only he can perform that kind of domineering temperament. Besides, I believe that Teacher Jiang Wen must be a reasonable person, let alone you, he will never Dare to be presumptuous in front of you."

"Alright then, since you have made a decision, I'll help you to ask."

Hearing that Xu Wenruo thought so highly of Jiang Wen, the Third Master didn't say anything more. He thought about it carefully and found that the role of Zhang Mazi was really suitable for Jiang Wen, especially his unruly and domineering character. , completely carved out of the same mold.

"As for the rest of Master Huang's role, Mr. Ge You and Mr. Jiang Wen have already been invited, so why not invite another movie star to set up the stage to sing, if the level is not in place, it will easily collapse."

"Okay, I'll ask for you recently, and I'll find you some good candidates for the remaining supporting roles. I've been in the industry for so many years, and I can't say anything else. I still have a bit of face. The cast of the script will be handed over to I'm here, and I'll help you form a good lineup."

"Third Master, if you come forward, it will definitely succeed."

"Okay, I'll help you find actors first. If you have nothing to do now, prepare the crew. If we shoot in a while, it will be in time for the Lunar New Year."

The third master is still vigorous and resolute. After he agreed to Xu Wenruo's request, he immediately asked him to prepare for the crew. Xu Wenruo, who had just had a few days of leisure, showed a wry smile on his face. He is really a hard worker, and he can't rest for a moment .

It is not difficult to prepare the production crew. Xu Wenruo's own staff in this production crew are all capable, and they can resume work with a direct notification. What is really important is that the construction of the scene cannot be delayed.

The entire plot of "Let the Bullets Fly" unfolds in Goose City. Building such a small town is not something that can be done in a short time. If you want to go to other places for shooting, the cost of shooting is no more than building There are few scenes, so Xu Wenruo still has to find a way from the film and television base.

As for setting up the scene, the film and television base in Langya City is already familiar with it, and Xu Wenruo is also relieved to leave it to them. The person in charge of the film and television base assured Xu Wenruo that the main work of the scene will be completed within one month, and within two months. Completion will not affect the shooting progress.

But Xu Wenruo could wait at this time, but the third master couldn't wait, so Xu Wenruo could only work overtime to urge, double the salary, and use three shifts to finally complete the scene construction work in more than a month.

During this time, the third master also recruited all the actors. In addition to Mr. Ge You, who has been confirmed to play the role of the master, and Mr. Jiang Wen, who has been confirmed to play the role of Zhang Mazi, the third master invited another actor, Zhou Run from Xiangjiang. , this boss is a memory of a generation, and the coffee position is also top-notch.

Except for the three leading stars, the rest of the actors are also capable. The third master is experienced and knows which actor has real skills. In order to make this movie better, the third master is eager for talents. All the roles were assigned to powerful actors, and these actors agreed to participate in the role for the sake of the third master.

Seeing this lineup, Xu Wenruo was very excited. If it was him who hired them, even if they paid double the salary, these people might not be willing to save face.

The actors have been decided and the crew has made good preparations. After the film and television base was completed, the third master couldn't wait to let Xu Wenruo start filming. But this time it was different from the past. There were several more big names in the crew, and Xu Wenruo couldn't let it go. The temper is here.

Under the strong request of the third master, Xu Wenruo had to hold a grand opening ceremony. Xu Wenruo's grass-roots team had never held such a ceremony before. It's not that it's troublesome, but Xu Wenruo himself finds it annoying. He doesn't like it very much. This formalism.

But this time there is no way, this crew is not Xu Wenruo's monopoly, the entire crew is jointly funded by Fengqi Studio and China Film Group, and China Film Group still accounts for the majority, with an overall score of sixty-four, but the third master is a fastidious person and is unwilling to occupy Juniors are cheap.

Therefore, Xu Wenruo's salary and script costs are calculated separately. Xu Wenruo has been filming for two years, and this is the first time he has received the salary of the director and editor. All the money is his.

At this grand opening ceremony, Xu Wenruo didn't seem to have much sense of presence. After all, beside him were not only the three film kings, but also the big boss, the third master. Xu Wenruo had no weight in front of them.

However, Xu Wenruo also discovered the benefits of the opening ceremony, which is at least very important for the publicity of the movie. The many reporters and friends at the opening ceremony were the power of publicity. On the second day of the launch, news about the entire crew spread all over the sky.

After all, the lineup revealed at the opening ceremony was so powerful that even one best actor could become a hot news hit. This time, three best actor appeared at once, and the rest of the actors were all talented, and the movie not only It is directed by Xu Wenruo and produced by San Ye. This is simply a magical lineup.

The reporters at the opening ceremony that day were all crazy. Many of them just came to take two stills to save face for the third master. Who would have thought that such a big melon would be released.

When the pictures of the scene appeared on the Internet, the audience also fell into a frenzy. They remembered the movie "Let the Bullets Fly". Although the filming had just started, it had already caused heated discussions on the Internet.

"Damn it, what kind of fairy lineup is this? Three film kings are competing on the same stage! This lineup might look good even in cartoons."

"Ge You, Jiang Wen, Zhou Run, Guaiguai, I'm already looking forward to it. If they get into trouble, who can withstand it?"

"Compared with the three of them, Xu Wenruo, whose total box office this year has exceeded [-] billion, looks a bit bleak. What's more, he is also the producer. I must watch this movie!"

"I actually have some doubts about whether Xu Wenruo, a young director, can hold down these three big guys, and there are so many talented actors."

"It's not a big problem. After all, this movie is supervised by the third master. Perhaps only the old man has such a great skill to put together such a lineup of immortals."

Outside discussions cannot affect the filming progress of the crew. Since most of the plot takes place in Goose City, no one objected to Xu Wenruo's shooting method from scratch. However, many actors looked at Xu Wenruo with very curious eyes.

The main reason is that Xu Wenruo is too young, but what does not match his young face is Xu Wenruo's achievements. Although he has only been in the film and television industry for more than a year, Xu Wenruo's achievements absolutely beat everyone present, even the three major movie stars. .

The box office is the best evaluation of a director. Xu Wenruo's ability to achieve such a good result means that his director skills are unquestionable, especially the name Xu Wenruo has been recognized by many actors present recently. The two-month summer vacation Then it became Xu Wenruo's miracle show.

Therefore, after seeing Xu Wenruo in the crew, the first thought in the minds of many actors is that he is really young, and the second thought is to know how many brushes Xu Wenruo has, just from Xu Wenruo's unique shooting technique From the looks of it, his success is somewhat justified.

"Director Xu, you see how I want to shoot later is more appropriate."

Just as the filming started, Jiang Wen stood up. He looked at Xu Wenruo with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to find out Xu Wenruo's temperament.

"You can play as you like, and shoot it according to your own ideas first. If there is something inappropriate, we can discuss it later."

Xu Wenruo kept his attitude very low, because he knew that these people were very experienced actors, and he wrote in great detail to let the actors understand the meaning of the script. Xu Wenruo believed in how this movie was made. These actors I guess it's all in my heart.

"Okay, then I will act according to my own ideas. If there are any shortcomings, I hope Director Xu will point them out and we will discuss them together. To be honest, I also like this script very much."

When Jiang Wen heard what Xu Wenruo said, a heroic smile appeared on his face, and his tone was not polite at all. Coupled with the unruly look on his face, he looked a bit aggressive.

But Xu Wenruo nodded and smiled, seemingly not caring at all, which made Ge You, who was standing next to Jiang Wen, couldn't help laughing. He had been standing behind Jiang Wen just now, listening to the exchange between the two without speaking.

But after Jiang Wen left, he nodded at Xu Wenruo, and then walked to the dressing room. Not far away, Zhou Run was also quietly watching what happened here. I chose to come to the crew because this was a play prepared by Master San, and no one dared to neglect it.

Several actors who are about to appear are preparing in the dressing room. Xu Wenruo still has a lot of pressure standing in front of the camera. Jiang Wen is worthy of being called a drama bully. What he said just now made Xu Wenruo nervous. If it is an ordinary director , I am afraid that he has already become angry with Jiang Wen in his heart.

But Xu Wenruo knew in his heart that no matter what, everyone's ultimate goal was to make a good movie. Xu Wenruo did not feel any obvious malice from Jiang Wen. He was more curious about Xu Wenruo's emotions, but he This person has a very strong personality and can easily cause misunderstandings. He is actually a very generous person.

Xu Wenruo took a deep breath, and the third master at the side seemed to feel that Xu Wenruo was a little nervous, so he walked to his side and looked at Xu Wenruo with a smile on his face.

"How's it going, are you under pressure?"

"It's okay, but Jiang Wen really deserves his reputation!"

"Do you regret going to him?"

Xu Wenruo shook his head, then looked at the train and the white horse that were ready, and said to the third master with some emotion.

"I think it's very interesting. It's interesting to film with such a character actor. I'm looking forward to the next filming."

After listening to Xu Wenruo's words, the third master suddenly smiled. Looking at Xu Wenruo who looked a little eager to try, he suddenly felt that Xu Wenruo and Jiang Wen were actually the same kind of people. It was just that Jiang Wen's arrogance was exposed on the outside, while Xu Wenruo's arrogance was hidden on the inside. But Both of them are more or less arrogant, so they have some feelings of sympathy for each other.

Seeing that Xu Wenruo has no problems, the third master is relieved. At the same time, he is also looking forward to the next filming. He is looking forward to the collision of two talented people, Xu Wenruo and Jiang Wen. The third master also believes that this movie will definitely be successful. It's going to be a fantastic movie beyond anyone's expectations.
