Chapter 599

He Yingyu was a little restless, always wiggling in her seat subconsciously.

Zhou Zhiyu, who was once regarded as a courier by her, was sitting next to her at this moment, and at this moment, people kept coming in, and the acquaintances were just looking at each other, so, in this large conference room, Except for the occasional sound of footsteps, the rest of the time was unusually quiet.

The time was July 22, 2000, Friday, and the location was the ninth floor of Minghu Building, meeting room No. 2 of the Film and Television Department of Minghu Culture Company.

Every time a person comes in, He Yingyu can't help staring at them for a while, and then quickly lowers her head before anyone finds out—today is the preparatory meeting for "My Sassy Girl", but Well, among the people present, she actually only knew one Lu Lingxi.

Well, maybe the guy next to me can barely be regarded as acquainted.

She lowered her head and leaned over, "Hey, I heard from Mr. Lu that you belong to the drama club?"

Zhou Zhiyu turned to look at her, nodded, with a simple and honest smile, "Yes, Shuntianfu Drama Club. I graduated from Songxi."

He Yingyu nodded, glanced around the room, and asked, "How many people do you know?"

Zhou Zhiyu walked around the crowd and said, "I know your name is He Yingyu, I know that is the assistant director, surnamed Lu, and the rest I only know Teacher Feng."

"Teacher Feng? Which one?"

Zhou Zhiyu pointed it out to him quietly, "Hey, Feng Shaocheng, Mr. Feng, is very good at acting, and he also takes special care of me. Oh, he is an old actor of our Shuntianfu drama club. It is said that he will play the owner of that hotel."

The script was sent to the main actors more than ten days ago. He Yingyu was very serious about accepting the play for the first time. I dare not say that the script has been memorized fluently, but the main plot, the main characters and the character of the characters can be regarded as basic. I was familiar with it last time, so I naturally know that this movie is closely related to the hero and heroine to tell the story. The only slightly important supporting roles in the movie should be the owner of the hotel and the deserter in the playground.

The two were whispering, and after a while, a familiar figure walked into the office.

He Yingyu's eyes lit up immediately, and she said to Zhou Zhiyu, "Is that Ming Hai? Qi Baoshan?"

Zhou Zhiyu nodded, because when Zou Wenhuai approached him to discuss a film contract, he also proposed to sign a brokerage contract, and he signed the contract without hesitation. Some of the human resources in the Minghu Culture Department are more familiar than He Yingyu.

Turning his head to see that no one was paying attention to his side, as soon as Ming Hai came in, he hurried over to shake hands with Feng Shaocheng, talked and laughed in a low voice, and then greeted a pretty young girl politely, and then whispered to He Yingyu: "It is said that He is a good friend of director Jin Han, and he used to take odd jobs in Huairou Film and Television City, and was later recommended by director Jin Han to Director Li, and then Director Li asked him to play Qi Baoshan, and then he became popular."

He Yingyu nodded first when she heard the words, then turned to look at Zhou Zhiyu in surprise, "Yo, you know a lot!"

Zhou Zhiyu smiled honestly, but didn't answer.

He Yingyu glanced at him. To be honest, until now, even though she was familiar with the script, she still couldn't accept the fact that she wanted to fall in love with this seemingly unattractive guy in front of the camera.

The first love and even the first kiss on the big screen in the fantasy, the other party must be the kind who is handsome and scumbag, does it matter?

In the end, this guy is too harmless, right?

After a while, she asked, "Hey, have you ever acted before?"

Zhou Zhiyu replied in a low voice: "I always act in dramas, I have never acted in front of the camera."

He Yingyu blinked, thinking she was even more blind now, both of them can't do anything!

But she didn't intend to show timidity, and whispered: "That beautiful woman over there, did you see it? The teacher of our college, after I got the script, I asked her to help me rehearse the play. We will live again later. question."

Zhou Zhiyu nodded honestly, and when she turned her head away, she couldn't help thinking: When I went to deliver you something, it was originally arranged for us to play against each other, but...

Soon, He Yingyu turned her head again, carefully pointed at the girl sitting diagonally opposite, and asked, "Hey, do you know who she is? I think everyone is very polite to her!"

Zhou Zhiyu shook his head, but nodded again, with a twisted expression on his face, and whispered: "I'm not sure, but I heard people call her Manager Huang, and it is said that she is one of the two major producers of Minghu Culture, so You see, Ming Hai is very polite to her. It is said that she is one of Director Li's most trusted producers. She should be the executive producer of this drama. According to gossip, she used to be Liao Liao's manager! "

He Yingyu suddenly realized.

But after a while, she shook her head, with a look of indifference on her face, and said, "I don't know."

…………

After nine o'clock, Han Shunzhang and Zhu Mingyu walked into the meeting room together. He Yingyu finally got another acquaintance. Three days ago, she received a call from Minghu Culture, met Han Shunzhang, and knew that this was her senior brother.

At 9:25, Li Qian and Jin Han arrived last, and Sun Yuting followed behind them, keeping a low profile like an inconspicuous little tail.

As soon as he entered the door, everyone stood up in unison. Li Qian quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, "You are welcome, please sit down, everyone, sit down!" He also sat down at the head of the conference table, and then Continued: "First of all, I'm sorry, our company's last drama "Meteor Garden" was originally expected to end around the first ten days of July, but it was delayed until the 16th, which was a few days later than expected, so , Our filming started about ten days later than expected."

After a pause, he said: "Time is tight, everyone, I'm calling everyone together today. First, I'll be in charge of the introduction, so that everyone can get to know each other so that we can cooperate in the future. Second, I want to make sure everyone is in the crew. The division of labor and responsibilities, so that everyone understands, who should go to solve what happened in the crew..." At this point, he glanced in the conference room and said with a smile: "Almost all are here, then I Let’s start from the beginning. First of all, our two assistant directors of this film... Lu Lingxi and Han Shunzhang."

Following Li Qian's introduction, Lu Lingxi and Han Shunzhang stood up one after another to greet everyone.

In terms of responsibilities, Lu Lingxi is mainly responsible for the main line, assisting the director in filming, especially focusing on the actors' performances, while Han Shunzhang is mainly responsible for some side lines, such as some empty shots that need to be shot, and some non-key shots, etc. He is responsible for taking the photographer to shoot.

In terms of importance, Lu Lingxi seems to be mainly in charge, but because he is basically helping the director Li Qian, it is slightly inferior. This time, Han Shunzhang has a certain degree of autonomy to a large extent, and he is barely in charge, so It can be regarded as Li Qian's small release of power to him.

Then, Li Qian introduced several main members of the crew, the executive producer Huang Wenjuan, this is the butler of the crew, the director of photography, Jin Han, headed by him, the crew and several photographers, namely Du Yuchun , Yang Jie, Fu Xuelong, and photography assistant Lu Bin.

Then, the art director is Zhao He.

He was originally invited by Yu Bojun Gaoxin to assist him in managing the production company under Yu's Film Industry, but as Yu Bojun bid farewell to the entertainment industry, Yu's Film Industry is close to suspending production, and Yu Bojun is of course willing to continue to invest in Zhao He. He came to continue making some low-budget films, but after staying in Yu's Films for seven or eight years, Zhao He also understood that Yu's Films' production is only going to be small in the future. .

So, let's talk frankly and honestly. Although he has not officially resigned there, he has already joined Minghu Culture, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" is the first movie of Minghu Culture. If Cao Zhan is free, then Li Of course Qian wanted him to be the art director, but he was busy participating in "Super Girl", so Li Qian asked Zhao He to take care of this part, as a check for the film.

Zhao He's subordinates, the art, costume, and makeup teams, will continue to be led by Zhu Mingyu.

After introducing the above people, Li Qian casually pointed to Sun Yuting who was sitting in the corner at the end of the large oval conference table, and said, "Her name is Sun Yuting, she just graduated from the Shunying Directing Department, and she is the producer of this film." The assistant is also my director's assistant, just like the photography assistant Lu Bin, if you don't know who to turn to for any problem, then go to them both!"

After introducing the main members of the crew, Li Qian sat down and signaled to Lu Lingxi, the assistant director, to introduce the main actors of the crew—even though he had experienced many big scenes, it was the first time for him to participate in the crew himself. , although Lu Lingxi was calm on the surface, he still showed some tension.

However, in such an urban romance film with an unusually clear main line and an unusually prominent center of gravity, apart from the male and female protagonists, the required actors are really limited. The main actors of the crew were already familiar with each other, so there was no sense of stage fright at this time, so they stood up generously and introduced everyone one by one.

The real strangers are actually mainly three newcomers, Zhou Zhiyu plays the male lead Zhou Aniu, He Yingyu plays the female lead Song Mingxi, and even Ming Hai who plays the deserter doesn’t have much to introduce. In addition, including the hotel owner played by Feng Shaocheng, as well as the parents who played the hero and heroine, they are all old actors who Li Qian found from the Shuntian Drama Club, and they are very familiar with each other.

Of course, like the successful man who had a blind date with the heroine in the play, and the aunt of the heroine, that is, Ming Xiaojing and the couple, they are all guest stars, so they just come to shoot when the time comes, the scenes are very limited, and they didn't show up today.

After some introduction, at least people who don't know each other become familiar with each other. Afterwards, Lu Lingxi was in charge of finalizing the schedule with the actors one by one—except for the male and female protagonists, everyone else had limited roles, so Li Qian planned to use the method of entering the stage separately, and finish filming the roles of these veteran actors first. , so the result of this is that this one comes, that one goes, and the schedule has to be finalized one by one.

As for the male and female protagonists, of course they must be followed from beginning to end.

In the end, Li Qian announced that the production team will gather three days later, that is, on July 25th, and the filming will officially start on July 26th.

…………

As soon as the preparatory meeting started, even if the production crew began to run at full capacity, everyone performed their duties, but Li Qian was relieved. After the meeting, Han Shunzhang, Lu Lingxi, and Sun Yuting were busy finalizing some matters with other members of the production crew, but Li Qian After leaving the conference room, seeing Jin Han following up, he smiled and said, "Have you rested yet?"

Jin Han shrugged, "That's it, I'm a bit rushed, but to be honest, this kind of TV series has limited emotional investment, and the body is a bit tired, but the mind is not tired."

Li Qian smiled and said: "I heard from Xiao Bing that you have put a lot of thought into teaching her to act, thank you!"

Jin Han waved his hands, looking calm, "What's the matter, in fact, she is still a bit talented, she can't play some big roles, but like this kind of idol drama, or to play a big vase, she is quite qualified Already!"

Li Qian smiled, for Jin Han, this evaluation is not low.

But at this time, he didn't have the heart to discuss this with Jin Han, he just told him: "Go back and talk to the team for a few days first, you, the photography director, still need to guide and guide."

Jin Han nodded, "Old Du and Yang Jie are at the same level, Xuelong's talent is nothing to say, I just watched this drama for a few days, and when I get on the road, I'll come back and start editing." After thinking about it, he said: "About a month, it will be no problem to cut it out within a month. Take another ten days and a half month to fine-tune it, and it will be done."

Li Qian gave a "hmm" and said, "I'll leave the soundtrack to Mr. Xie. I have already written and recorded the two theme songs and an interlude. The soundtrack is simple. Mr. Xie arranges someone to do it." That's enough. Then... I'll just wait and see your finished product, so I won't interfere."

Jin Han nodded, "Success!"

…………

The time has entered the second half of July. Although the weekly sales of "Red Bean" fell for the second time, the decline was very healthy. In addition, the album's start was too high. Although it showed a steady downward trend, the new albums on the market were still on the rise. He could only look up at it, unable to resist at all.

At the same time as "Red Bean" dominated the music scene, there was a box office battle between the American blockbuster "The Last of Earth" and the new film "Beacon Tower" by domestic film master Qin Wei.

Just like the record war between Liao Liao and Zhou Mo back then, this kind of planned topic is actually beneficial to boosting the box office of both sides, but this time, the domestic media unanimously played "support national films, support Master Qin Wei" slogan, so the box office increase of "Beacon Tower" is more obvious-however, "The Last Day on Earth" still does not fall behind.

At the same time, almost every week, two to three domestic films and at least one American film are entering the market one after another, participating in the summer box office competition.

It can be said that although the domestic box office market is still in a downward trend, it is still a huge market with an overall magnitude of 5 billion Chinese yuan, and even the big Hollywood filmmakers definitely dare not underestimate it.

Because of this, the summer box office battle was extremely fierce.

And at this time, quietly, "My Sassy Girlfriend" started filming in Shuntian Mansion.

I'm sorry everyone, maybe it's because I worked too hard this month, and maybe I didn't pay attention to my diet. I got cholecystitis. From the past few days, I wake up at four or five o'clock every morning. The whole back hurts continuously. I can't even turn over, but if I get up and move a little bit, I'll be fine. I have been taking medicine secretly, and my wife always thought it was just an old problem, but this morning when I was tossing and turning, my wife found out, I had no choice but to tell her, so I was escorted to the hospital for an examination, and then an infusion, now I don’t know if it will continue to hurt tonight... Originally, I usually get up early to type recently, so I can update it at noon, but I didn’t write it today. After dinner, my wife reluctantly agreed with me to write a little bit, so it’s even later, everyone forgive me.
