Chapter 773 Spring Festival Gala Rehearsal
It snowed the day after the party, and it was a blizzard. The snowplows were busy all the time, and the roads in the capital were blocked everywhere.
At 2 pm on January 25, the 2008 Spring Festival Gala entered the preparation state, and all programs will have their first dress rehearsal with makeup for the first time.
Although they knew that they were unlikely to be eliminated, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi still went to the rehearsal honestly.
Wang Shunliu will also go today.
It’s just that Jay Chou can’t come because of the blizzard, so he will probably participate in the second rehearsal.
Hao Yun also wished Jiang Wen a happy new year and gave him some New Year’s goods.
Jiang Wen also had time to visit home recently, and Hao Yun usually didn’t bother him when he was not at home.
Zhou Yun is only four years older than Hao Yun.
No matter how you look at her, she still has her charm.
When they arrived at Jiang Wen’s house, An Xiaoxi was taken by Zhou Yun to see her baby.
The baby is the cutest.
After putting down the gift, Hao Yun went to the study with Jiang Wen to discuss things.
"Let me show you the cast list. They will be back from Hollywood in March and will start filming in the south." Jiang Wen handed the cast list to Hao Yun.
"I may stay in Hollywood for about two weeks to shoot a relatively simple movie. This is my script."
Hao Yun took the cast list and showed Jiang Wen the script of "Buried Alive".
The two read while drinking tea and finished reading it soon.
Hao Yun had no opinion on the cast list. Many of them were from his company.
He was quite surprised when he saw a familiar name.
That guy plays a priest. Isn't the role too weak?
However, Hao Yun and him have no intersection after "Blood Romance", so he doesn't plan to say much.
He doesn't plan to flatter.
He just wants to take one step at a time and rely on his own efforts.
"Your script...is quite interesting." Jiang Wen glanced at Hao Yun and was surprised by his imagination.
He knew that Hao Yun wanted to try the water in Hollywood.
He fully agreed with this.
Everyone chooses their own path, and there is no need for others to interfere. Besides, Hao Yun is not moving to develop there.
"I have sent the script to Paramount, and they said they can shoot it and are helping me find actors."
According to Hao Yun's plan, if Paramount does not accept his cooperation conditions, he will go to Columbia Pictures.
Unexpectedly, Paramount responded very quickly and decisively.
In fact, Hao Yun underestimated his influence in Hollywood.
Hollywood really doesn't think much of the awards Hao Yun won at the three major European film festivals. They are more commercial.
But Hao Yun's "Whiplash" has a very good box office in Europe and the United States.
It's not because of the controversy in the education system, nor because of Hao Yun's excellent grasp of film technology, but only because of the box office.
Hollywood is called milk is mother.
If you have box office, you will be promoted immediately. If you don't have box office, even if you used to be awesome, you will be beaten back to your original state soon.
Hao Yun's information has long been on the desk of Paramount's senior management.
Although Hao Yun said that this small movie might not have much box office, its cost is low enough.
Only three million US dollars!
They promised to provide the venue, equipment, and staff that Hao Yun needed, and accepted Hao Yun's commission to recommend at least five Hollywood movie actors with schedules for him.
When the list comes out, he can just choose one and shoot.
Of course, with this budget, it is impossible to find any big names and acting skills.
At most, they can choose more suitable ones from movie supporting roles or American TV actors.
If everything is ready for the movie "Buried Alive", it will definitely be finished in two weeks.
"Then wait for you to finish shooting, and then start shooting here." Jiang Wen doesn't care about waiting for half a month.
"In fact, it's the same if you start shooting first."
Hao Yun doesn't think he needs to wait for him. He has finished the script for this movie and has drawn the storyboard script.
But if Jiang Wen wants to make changes, it doesn't matter whether Hao Yun is there or not.
Moreover, Hao Yun is also a supporting role, and his role accounts for a very small proportion.
"No, I'll wait for you to come. This is a movie for the two of us." Jiang Wen made a domineering decision.
It's just half a month.
He wouldn't care if he waited a year.
His apprentice paid too much for the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".
If Hao Yun hadn't firmly disagreed, he would have wanted to add Hao Yun's name to the director column.
After chatting for a while, the snow outside was getting heavier.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were also going to the rehearsal site, which would officially start at two o'clock, and they would definitely have a meeting before starting.
"If you can't go back at night and it's not convenient to open a hotel, then just stay at my house." Jiang Wen knew that Hao Yun lived very far away, definitely in the suburbs.
If the snow kept falling, it would not be safe to go back at night.
"Uncle Jiang, have you forgotten that I have a house in Wudaokou." Hao Yun would sign an agreement with a housekeeping or gardening company for each house, and would regularly clean and maintain it to ensure that he could move in at any time.
The life of the rich is so simple and unpretentious.
An Xiaoxi's family also has a house in the inner city. When she was in school, she bought a house next to the school.
The housing prices have almost doubled now.
I didn’t dare to drive fast on the snowy road, and I almost arrived at the scene on time.
A considerable number of people were delayed on the road because of the snowy road.
Zhu Tong, the chief planner and deputy editor-in-chief of CCTV, said that he would come, so the chief director decided to wait.
It doesn’t matter if it’s later.
There are two chief directors for this Spring Festival Gala - Chen Linchun and Zhang Xiaohai, both of whom graduated from the Capital Broadcasting Institute.
Hao Yun had never dealt with them before.
After entering under the guidance of the staff, he found a place to sit down.
Wang Shunliu also arrived at the scene quickly.
After arriving, he got together with Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi.
A big light bulb.
Several people brought assistants, so they didn’t need to run around for many things.
After a while, many more people came, but the chief planner called to say that he couldn’t come because he had another meeting to attend.
So the two chief directors began to call everyone to a meeting.
“Are Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi here?” The chief director who spoke was Chen Linchun, who was the chief director for the first time, and the other one had been the chief director for several terms.
“Here they are!” They both stood for a while.
“She looks pretty.” The chief director had a good temper and made a joke right away.
He asked a few more people and also asked Wang Shunliu.
Almost everyone he asked came.
"Do you think he named them because he values them or because he is worried?" An Xiaoxi approached Hao Yun and asked in a low voice.
"If you keep whispering like this, people will find out."
Girl, how can you not know yourself at all?
"Everyone, be quiet and say a few simple words. Don't whisper to each other. If you have anything to say, talk at home." The chief director Chen Linchun is indeed very humorous.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Among them, Linghua from Phoenix Legend laughed the loudest.
She was sitting behind Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, and happened to see the two whispering to each other.
If nothing unexpected happened, the chief director was talking about them.
An Xiaoxi quickly sat up straight.
A lot of precautions were mentioned, but the 2008 Spring Festival Gala was definitely not as strict as the 2006 Spring Festival Gala when Hao Yun participated last time.
Neither of the two directors this year was as strong as Lang Kun.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's programs were arranged at the front.
This is also related to their popularity. They were invited to attract young people. They must attract people in the early stage and let them have higher expectations for this Spring Festival Gala.
Of course, there are also people responsible for holding these young people back.
For example, Jay Chou, his program was arranged at the back.
It is precisely because Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's programs are relatively early, so they have to put on makeup first.
After changing clothes, rows of people are all in makeup.
Because the snowstorm this year is serious, the color tone of the entire Spring Festival Gala is relatively plain, and Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's costumes are no exception.
An Xiaoxi wore a light blue long dress, and she looked the most stunning in blue.
And Hao Yun matched it with a gray suit dress.
After putting on makeup, you have to wait a little longer-there is no way to sit down, just stand there and wait.
The assistant carefully put a piece of clothing on An Xiaoxi.
The dress cannot be damaged.
During the rehearsal, especially during the last rehearsal to record the backup tape, you can't change clothes casually.
"Is it still snowing outside? The snow this year is too heavy." An Xiaoxi whispered.
She had delicate makeup on her face, looking like a doll.
"It probably won't stop. There was a snowstorm this year, and Little Forest has donated one million yuan."
The donation was the box office revenue, which was used to advance the disaster relief.
At the beginning, the movie also promoted that there was no snow in the south. After watching Little Forest: Winter, there is no need to regret it.
The result.
It has been snowing since the 39th day of the coldest period, from north to south, day and night, vertically pouring, ice on the Yellow River, rain and snow on the Yangtze River, freezing the land of Sanxiang, and heading straight to the Pearl River Delta. Most of China is snowing.
It must not be promoted in this direction.
"Let's donate some more individually." An Xiaoxi thought for a while and said.
"Don't donate too much. Little Forest donated one million, which can be seen as marketing. If you donate too much personally, you will offend people." Hao Yun reminded.
"Then ask how much others donated." An Xiaoxi was convinced by Hao Yun.
He was much more reliable than her mother.
"Where are you going to sleep at night?"
We agreed to start rehearsals at two o'clock, but it was delayed to three o'clock. The rehearsal was interrupted at any time, and it was not that we could leave after the rehearsal. After rehearsals for a few hours, it was just the evening rush hour.
The evening rush hour + blizzard, I don't know how many hours I will be stuck in traffic.
"Didn't you say that you can live there? The house over there is vacant, and it seems that the heating fee has not been paid."
An Xiaoxi said as a matter of course.
"Are you so confident in my character?" Hao Yun began to doubt his life.
"There is also an assistant!" An Xiaoxi rolled his eyes at him.
And even if there is no assistant, what's the matter? If you dare to rush over, I will kick you to death.
