Chapter 1090: Rain Before Wind
After the second season of "Lost" was broadcast and subsequent related matters were finalized, Chen Hao focused on his new work plan. He did not rush into work, nor did he deliberately say that he would take a long vacation. He felt that he was now Life is pretty good.
I work when I want to work. I have never put a lot of pressure on myself to make myself very tired. I have never been in a hurry just because I am in a hurry. Every time I work overtime, it is because my mood is up and I want to speed up the progress. When the good state continues, it is no longer tiring work, but an artistic creation driven by emotion.
Every morning, I still exercise. My favorite is swimming. I swim for half an hour, go around the company, deal with things that need to be dealt with, and sit in the company for a while if I don’t need to deal with them.
When I'm in the company, I mostly read scripts or chat with people. On the rare occasions when my hands feel itchy, I play games for a while.
After leaving the company, I would occasionally visit some crews filming in Yanjing. It was all a matter of courtesy. There was no distinction between friends. If they were not friends, they would not consider anything else.
I basically don’t go out to socialize in the evening. If I really want to talk about something, if I want to eat, we can have a meal together at noon. We have agreed to drink some tea and some fruit in the afternoon and find a quiet place to sit. If I am more interested, I can go to Yanjiao to find it. Chen Hao doesn't like the fishing and wine table culture in this place very much. Now that he has the ability, he can give him the life he wants as much as possible.
Life is better on a night when you are not socializing. Live broadcasting from time to time will make you fearless of the comments from the outside world that you are a big star and should not be so worthless. Live broadcast when you want to live broadcast. When not live broadcasting, if Xiaodi is at home, the two of you will Cook some meals together, shop online, and watch movies together. What they do together are all things that nerds do, but this is the least they can do in the past; if Xiao Di is not at home, Chen Hao will enjoy being alone most of the time. During my free time, I would read books and scripts, and I would lie in bed in a daze from time to time. Occasionally, I would get a flash of creativity and jump out of bed, immediately open the script of "The Embalmer" and look for something that would fit it.
Occasionally, he would meet with some people and conduct some small-scale consultations on the subsequent shooting of the work. Most of the time, he would say, what do I want, what kind of scenery do I want, what do I want? What kind of technology, what kind of special effects do I want.
He will finalize some peripheral things first. Whether it is a company or an unestablished crew, there is no shortage of money. He can do whatever he wants. It is the same with all the super directors in the world. When you can dominate the box office, you can become money-making When the machine is running, new dramas will be played, and whatever you want can be satisfied.
There is no rush to shoot, no rush to release, and no rush to compete for next year's Oscars. For a good work, excluding the script creation cycle, the production cycle is preferably half a year. Because of the existence of "The Embalmer", Chen Hao also stabilized his mind. , there is no rush to shoot both works quickly. Originally, "Forrest Gump" could have set up a crew to start filming, but the candidate for the heroine has not been finalized yet. Chen Hao has also seen some people. To be honest, , there is no shortage of people who are quite famous and good-looking at their age. The only thing that is lacking is those who have these and acting skills. Stewart is actually good, but Chen Hao feels that her image on the screen needs some breakthrough, and besides, he is embarrassed to really The most important thing is that in Chen Hao's heart, there is actually an actress who has entered his eyes. If, if not...
It's just a little bit different. This person's appearance is indeed up for debate. According to the configuration of the heroine in "Forrest Gump", some vases seem to be more suitable. Such entanglements and hesitations are really just his own. Choice, he felt that there was still room for development in the role of the heroine. When Forrest Gump always swore to believe in everything, there needed to be a character who could form a sharp contrast with Forrest Gump in a small area.
If he can perform well in a limited role, Chen Hao even feels that it is not impossible to compete for the best actress.
Saoirse Ronan, except for her appearance, everything else meets Chen Hao's requirements. She has outstanding acting skills at such a young age...
At a young age, Chen Hao subconsciously ignored his age, otherwise two people of similar age would not seem qualified to say the words "young age".
If you want good looks, a slightly more glamorous role, and a performance that is not too heartfelt, then Megan Fox has prepared all her schedules. She has already informed Joy Times through her agent about her schedules in the next six months. She would spare it all, for a year if necessary. The implication is that if I can wait until the heroine is finalized in half a year, all the time after I join the group will be yours.
Both of them are not 100% the most suitable candidates, but they both make Chen Hao's heart flutter. Megan Fox's appearance makes it easier to play a beautiful heroine who is more like a vase. She has her own aura and does not need to deliberately perform. With a temperament that will definitely abandon the silly Forrest Gump.
Chen Hao did not reveal his own struggles and the process of continuous searching. He was still in a state of half-rest. You couldn't sense that he wanted to form a crew and start filming immediately. In the eyes of these foreign filmmakers, It seems that his script is not completely ready yet, so he just waits and is not too anxious at all. It is normal for a foreign film to have a production cycle of two years. Chen Hao's current 'procrastination' is completely normal in their eyes. Phenomenon.
The heroine of "Forrest Gump" has not been finalized, but Chen Hao has found the most suitable candidate for the heroine of "Departures".
Setting the role to be around 30 to 40 years old, Chen Hao can almost choose from more than 80% of Chinese actresses. The four major actresses who used to act with him but were much older than him have officially entered his sight.
His desk was filled with recommendations, and even Xiaodi and Jiang Shuying came to join in the fun. They knew that if they were suitable, they didn't need recommendations, but they still came to join in the fun on purpose. He directly asked Qiu Yu to withdraw their recommendations. Why did they come to join in the fun? In fact, she had never considered actresses under 35 years old.
One good thing about actresses is that they are a little older and have almost no pressure to play the role of a teenager. If a 20-something plays a 40-year-old role, there will be a certain sense of disobedience.
When he invited Andy Lau to play a supporting role in his "Departures" in the future, he read some of the settings and lines of the heroine, and then gave Chen Hao a suggestion, which was almost a wake-up call. When the name and image appeared, he found that all the points were very consistent with the wife in "Departures", especially the other party's temperament to play the image of a wife who is vain in her bones but shows a dignified image to everyone. The contradiction and image conflict in this, the other party, it seems, has no second thought.
In front of Andy Lau, Chen Hao didn't need to discuss with anyone. He took out his mobile phone and called the other party. When they worked together, he was still a little brother, and he was somewhat promoted by the two big brothers. Now, in just a few years, the two sides have not contacted each other much, and the other party felt a little abrupt when he called. Seeing that the name displayed on the phone screen was Chen Hao, he gently said "Hello..."
"Director Xu, are you making handmade bags again?"
"Why, a big star is coming to take care of my business and wants to choose a bag for his fiancee. Don't worry, I will definitely make it for you carefully, and I will also give you a discount when selling it to you. Others are 500, and you are 50,000."
"Sister, don't be like this. Even if my brother asks you for a play, don't step on me."
Director Xu, not doing his job, likes to make handmade bags by himself
One of the two ice and four actresses, the former top Weibo celebrity, the model of super laziness who does not work properly - Xu Jinglei, the old Xu, once worked together in "The Warlords". At that time, the rivalry was mainly focused on the eldest and second brothers. With the third brother Jiang Wuyang, the most direct scene was the scene where Jiang Wuyang killed his sister-in-law.
Xu Jinglei on the other end of the phone, after hearing these words, jumped up from the state of lazily lying on the sofa, sat up straight, frowned slightly, did not show timidity in words, but was very excited in her heart. The work that Chen Hao is holding in his hands now is the source of countless people's madness. The second season of "Lost" has just been signed, and the film has not been broadcast yet, and Huya has already earned nearly 1 billion.
His new work, which asked me to cooperate, is definitely not the "Forrest Gump". Is it the work about undertakers that he has traveled to several places to enrich the script during this period?
Thinking in his heart, his mouth was not idle: "Then I really can't step on you, I have to treat you to a meal."
Chen Hao stopped joking, and the two were not familiar enough to keep joking: "Brother Hua reminded me, and I thought of you. My new script "Departures" is currently being written. The character and role of the heroine are basically finalized. I sincerely invite Director Xu to come and play the role of my wife in the play. The specific shooting time has not been determined. I know that Director Xu has no scripts to shoot recently. I hope to have a chance to cooperate with him once."
Andy Lau smiled on the side, took the phone, and while talking to Chen Hao, he also let the voice pass from the microphone to the other end of the radio wave for Xu Jinglei to hear.
"Haozi, why are you so serious? I want to see how you will act in the wild scene with Director Xu, where the emotions explode and the actions get out of control. Hello, it's me, um..."
They are more familiar with each other. Chen Hao forgot to add a sentence. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. Saying it is a respect for the invited actor. I mentioned it when chatting with Andy Lau just now, but the other party is just here to play a role with a small part, so some things don't matter, but now they are looking for the leading actress.
"Director Xu, this movie may not be released in the mainland."
