Chapter 475 It’s Too Hard to Imagine

Zu Ming really didn't expect it.

He was a little confused because he drank a little wine at this time.

He didn't even react for a moment.

After staying for a moment, Zu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Axing, stop joking. That script is so unreliable. What are you acting??"

"No, Director Zu, do you think I'm joking?"

Lin Xing also said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Didn't I tell you yesterday? I will read the script when I go back..."

Zu Ming was even more embarrassed at this time: "Axing, I really thought that was your excuse."

In Zu Ming's opinion, isn't this the case for many people who refuse politely?

I'll go back and have a look.

I'll take the time to take a look.

Then they won't respond to you for ten days and a half, or even for several months.

Because Zu Ming often does these things, just like when Zu Ming auditioned for the drama "Anti-Gangster", he told many artists who were auditioning for the drama, "Go back and wait for news."

This is basically a very routine operation.

But now I heard what Lin Xing meant.

Are you serious? ?

Lin Xing shook his head and laughed: "Director, this is really my fault. I should talk to you more seriously."

"How can I blame you??"

At this time, Zu Ming quickly asked seriously: "Axing, do you really think this script is good?"

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "I really think it's possible, and it's quite novel. There are very few such time-travel movies in the film and television industry, let alone dual time and space overlap."

But Zu Ming frowned and said, "Doesn't this just prove that this subject matter is niche?"

"No."

Lin Xing explained with a smile: "Director, you may not have paid attention to the online novel market. In the online novel market, rebirth and time travel have always been standard features for protagonists, and the online novel market basically has no regard for such rebirth or even time travel themes on the Internet. Articles are too common…”

Next, Lin Xing talked to Zu Ming about the situation of online writing. You must know that the development of online writing is very strong nowadays, but most of the industry either doesn't understand it or doesn't know much about it.

Many of them only adapt IP. As for male videos, many of them are adapted from fantasy and fairy tales.

So Zu Ming didn't understand that it was normal to travel through parallel time and space.

But for Lin Xing, he has seen many movies with this theme, and the market is actually huge. The most important thing is "Parallel Cohabitation", which is considered a romance movie.

And if you want to say that there are flaws in this script, there are definitely some flaws, but overall Lin Xing thinks it's acceptable.

Besides, Lin Xing has never made a romance movie, so it would be good to make one.

The most important thing is that it is generally not difficult to shoot this type of subject. Regardless of the special effect of two folding rooms, overall it is very simple.

Just switch back and forth in a few scenes.

Lin Xing made a rough estimate and found that two months was basically enough.

What's more important is that this kind of life does not require Lin Xing to experience anything, because Lin Xing knows the profession of the male protagonist quite well.

After all, Lin Xing was a career planner in another time and space. How could he not understand these professions? ?

As a result, what Lin Xing wanted to do today was to have a good chat with Zu Lan after the launch conference.

As a result, Zu Ming had already rejected it for himself.

This made Lin Xing not know what to say, and he still said seriously to Zu Ming: "Director Zu, I think Zu Lan is actually quite capable."

"This is my fault, this is my fault."

Zu Ming came to his senses at this time. It seemed that Lin Xing really liked the script, so he said directly: "I will talk to Zu Lan when I get home later."

"Director Zu, you'd better call her right now and ask her to come directly..."

Lin Xing smiled bitterly and said: "I actually only have two months of schedule, so I have to see how far Zu Lan has prepared the script first, or if she has really prepared it a long time ago, then I want to do it as soon as possible It’s turned on…”

"Okay, okay."

Zu Ming said nothing more and directly dialed Zu Lan's phone number.

The result was good, Zu Lan refused to answer.

Zu Lan was in a very bad mood at home, not just because Lin Xing did not agree to the script. You must know that Zu Lan had a little hope from the beginning.

But what she was really angry about was what Zu Ming said about her.

Why are you not suitable to be a director at all?

You've already bought a piece of everything, why can't you study it down-to-earth first?

If you weren't my Zu Ming's daughter, you would have starved to death.

Wait a minute or something like that.

Anyway, Zu Ming is a typical tyrant on the set. Although he is so kind to Lin Xing, he was also cruel to Lin Xing when filming "Love Is Not Easy".

In short, character and temper are really difficult to change.

You said that Zulan was originally a very proud first and second generation, and as Lin Xing said, she really relied on her peers to set her off a lot.

The other second generation either smoke, gamble, or pursue various thrills, but looking at Zu Lan who is so down-to-earth and engaged in industry, don’t you think it’s okay? ?

Of course, in Zu Ming's opinion, it really doesn't work.

Because Zu Ming feels that Zu Lan is not even as good as his own three points now.

It is precisely because of this that Zu Ming used various words to attack Zu Lan, which even made Zu Lan's mentality collapse.

Zu Lan directly refused ten calls from Zu Ming, and Zu Ming could only call his wife.

"Huh?? Lanlan is at home, I'll tell her right now."

Ji Sha was quite disappointed at first, because she really thought her daughter could be more powerful.

As a result, her daughter had absolutely no potential. It was strange that Ji Sha was in a good mood at this time.

She was even prepared to educate Zu Lan through hardships according to her best friend's advice.

But I never expected it.

Lin Xing actually agreed to participate in the show.

So Ji Sha quickly came to Zulan's room, only to find that Zulan's door was locked from the inside.

"Lan Lan, open the door. Mom has something to tell you."

Ji Sha quickly knocked on the door and said.

"Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to you. If my dad asks you to tell me anything, don't say it. I don't want to hear it..."

Zulan was really angry this time.

"That's not it. It's your father who asked you to go to the hotel quickly. Lin Xing agreed to participate in the show, but he..."

"What did you say???"

Before Ji Sha could finish her words, Zu Lan had already opened the door, and quickly interrupted Ji Sha and asked.

Ji Sha quickly explained the matter, and then said: "Let me tell you, your father loves you. This must be your father's promise to Lin Xing after he told Lin Xing some more..."

At this time, Zulan no longer wanted to listen to her mother, and she quickly went to the hotel.

An hour later, the premiere dinner of "Love Is Not Easy" was over, and Lin Xing also met with Zu Lan.

The two of them found a slightly quieter lounge.

Then Lin Xing only asked two points.

How was the preparation for the film "Parallel Cohabitation"? ?

Second, when can the filming of "Parallel Cohabitation" start at the earliest? ?

Zu Lan hurriedly said: "Actually, I have already chosen the location. I just need to shoot in Magic City, and the location has been selected. As for when to start shooting, it mainly depends on the funds..."

"oh??"

Lin Xing raised his eyebrows: "Not enough funds??"

"Yes, on the one hand, there is insufficient funds, and on the other hand, as for actors, I want to decide on the male and female leads first, and then use these two actors to attract investment..."

Zu Lan explained hurriedly.

After all, the main reason for "Parallel Cohabitation" now is lack of money.

"How much difference??"

Lin Xing frowned at Zu Lan and asked, "Or how much do you plan to cost to make this movie??"

"I wanted to make a low-cost movie directly, so I thought it would be done for 20 million, but the salary would need to be greatly reduced..."

Zu Lan said helplessly at this time.

"Then I understand."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said: "Leave the money matter to me. You get the crew together first. I'll find someone for the female lead. You go find the other actors first. Let's start filming as soon as possible..."

"ah???"

Zu Lan also felt the happiness of other colleagues for a moment, and she said with some surprise: "So Brother Xing, you agreed to participate in the show??"

"Well, I agreed. I still like this script, but there are some other minor issues, but they are not important. We will discuss them later when we discuss the script."

Lin Xing nodded slightly and said.

"well."

Zulan said quickly without thinking.

After Zu Lan left, Lin Xing thought for a moment and called Wang Lu directly: "Where are you putting it???"

Today at the launch conference of "Love Is Not Easy", Wang Lu did not come because he had activities.

She was socializing at this time.

"What's wrong? Axing?"

Wang Lu asked directly.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "If you have time, then come to the hotel. I have a script that I think is good, and the female lead is suitable for you..."

In Lin Xing's opinion, the female lead in "Parallel Cohabitation" is really suitable for Wang Lu.

"ah??"

Wang Lu was still in disbelief at this time. After all, she knew that Lin Xing was about to join the group "Death on Earth".

Why is there another script? ? ?

But after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me that this must be what Lin Xing’s company wants to invest in.

But even so Wang Lu was quite happy.

Because she plays the female lead, that's enough.

Half an hour later, Lin Xing quickly arrived at the hotel.

"Axing, what's going on???"

Wang Lu asked quickly as soon as he entered the room.

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Read the script first, don't be anxious, and then talk to me after reading it."

After listening to Lin Xing's words, Wang Lu didn't talk nonsense, so she started to read.

Movie script? ?

Wang Lu took the script and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face. For her, she never expected that Lin Xing would let her act in a movie.

You just need to know that Wang Lu actually thinks about TV series.

After all, it was quite difficult for her to break into the movie industry, and precisely because of this, Wang Lu did not dare to expect a movie script.

Just like in "Death on Earth", she had a supporting role, and she was content with just one good role.

Half an hour later, Wang Lu had almost finished reading.

"Axing, I've finished reading."

Wang Lu raised his head and said.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "What do you think of this script??"

"It's very novel and the subject matter is quite interesting. This is the first time I've seen this kind of script."

Wang Lu raised his head and said: "It's just the heroine, isn't it a bit of a girl-hunting??"

Get girls.

It can be said that this word is very popular at present, and because of the antagonistic relationship between men and women, it is basically said more about chasing women than green tea.

After all, according to the script, the heroine only wants to buy a big house at the beginning, or even just want to get married and achieve the pinnacle of life.

What is this if it's not to pick up women? ?

Lin Xing said with a smile: "I will talk about this when we review the script, because in my opinion this setting is not good..."

"Well, Ah Xing, I actually don't have any objections, because I am quite willing to play the leading female role in a movie. How am I qualified to choose??"

Wang Lu said quite straightforwardly: "But Ah Xing, I just want to ask who will play the male lead?"

Lin Xing said: "I'll act."

"ah???"

Wang Lu was a little surprised: "A Xing, are you going to act?"

"Yes, I'll act."

Lin Xing smiled and joked: "What? Do you think I can't act well? Or do you think I'm not worthy of playing opposite you?"

"I hate it."

Wang Lu was still immersed in huge disbelief at this time: "But Ah Xing, do you have time? Aren't you going to join the group soon??"

"I am about to join the cast, but I have enough filming before joining the cast. As you can see, this drama actually does not have too many scenes..."

Lin Xing said: "There are a lot of indoor scenes, and street scene shooting can be done in post-production..."

In Lin Xing's opinion, almost two months of filming for "Parallel Cohabitation" was enough.

"Does your next schedule have enough??"

Lin Xing said: "Because I have to join the set for filming soon..."

"Of course there is a schedule."

Wang Lu didn't need to pretend to Lin Xing, she smiled and said: "To be honest, even if there is no schedule, I still have to say there is a schedule."

"That's no problem."

Lin Xing nodded lightly and said: "Next, let's study the script carefully and get the show right."

Wang Lu said: "Okay."

A night of silence.

The next day, Wang Lu had left. She needed to communicate with her agent. As for Lin Xing, she also called Ding Chunling: "Sister Ling, don't worry about the script for now. I have already selected the script. I will wait for a while." See you in the studio."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Chunling said to Sister Dao in confusion: "Axing has found the script again??"

Sister Dao was not surprised at all: "Isn't this a routine operation??"

"It's a routine operation, but just because it's a routine operation, I feel frustrated..."

Ding Chunling said with a wry smile: "Originally, it was our agent who should have chosen the scripts, but now Lin Xing has done it directly. Doesn't this make us look like useless people??"
