Zhang Yuxuan looked at Gao Yuanyuan a little speechlessly.
"The movie you introduced to me, you have no feelings about the movie yourself——"
"I'll tell you the truth. In fact, it's not just this "Blue Red", but also the last "Bicycle" with Wang Xiaoshuai. I didn't feel much, and I didn't have a sense of immersion." Gao Yuanyuan said very frankly.
"Okay, let me tell the truth. I don't have any feelings about this kind of movies." Zhang Yuxuan also confessed.
Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"Sister Yuanyuan, which role should I play in the movie Qinghong?" Zhang Yuxuan flipped through the script again and asked.
"The male lead, of course he is the male lead." Gao Yuanyuan said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"The male lead? It's pretty good, but I think the age is a bit inappropriate." Zhang Yuxuan rubbed his chin.
"Ah? Inappropriate age? No way? Your age is quite appropriate!" Gao Yuanyuan looked at Yuxuan Zhang in confusion.
"I'm not that old, am I-" Henry Zhang frowned.
"Why aren't you so old? Wait, this guy wants to take advantage of me!" Gao Yuanyuan glared at Yuxuan Zhang.
"No? You said you want me to play the male lead. Isn't the male lead in this drama Qinghong's father?" Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.
"You actually want to be my father? That's too much." Gao Yuanyuan glared at Yuxuan Zhang angrily.
"Xiao Gen only had a few minutes of scenes from beginning to end? Do you think he is the male lead?" Zhang Yuxuan teased.
"Well, I play the female lead in Qinghong, so Xiao Gen will naturally be the male lead." Gao Yuanyuan also felt that Xiao Gen's title as the male lead was a bit undeserved.
"Okay, okay, just say yes."
…
Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Zhang Yuxuan and his handsome face.
To be honest, Wang Xiaoshuai thinks that Zhang Yuxuan is a little too handsome. Although the actors in his movies will not deliberately choose ugly ones, Zhang Yuxuan looks a little too handsome. This kind of face, in his movies,
Here, it will make people feel that it is a drama to some extent.
In addition to being too handsome and causing drama, there is another issue. It is the issue of remuneration.
"Zhang Yuxuan, how much is your current salary?" Wang Xiaoshuai asked.
"Salary? I have never made a movie before. The salary for a TV series is now 15,000 yuan per episode."
"Ten thousand and fifty thousand per episode——" Wang Xiaoshuai's mouth twitched.
Although Wang Xiaoshuai doesn't lose money when making movies, he really can't afford actors with high salaries.
It costs RMB 15,000 per episode to film a TV series. If he shoots a thirty-episode TV series, he can get a salary of RMB 4 to 50,000. And the total investment for one of his movies is only RMB 1,000,000.
"Director Wang, I have never made a movie before, so I am considered a newcomer in the movie circle, so you can give me fifteen thousand for the film's salary." Zhang Yuxuan knew what was going on when he looked at Wang Xiaoshuai's expression.
If his salary is higher, I'm afraid Wang Xiaoshuai will just slap his ass and leave.
Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment after hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said: "Fifteen thousand?"
"Well, the main reason is that I really want to cooperate with you, Director Wang, so the salary aspect is not important at all."
Hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said, Wang Xiaoshuai felt a lot more comfortable.
Although the actor Wang Xiaoshuai originally planned to hire would only be paid 8,000 yuan, and Zhang Yuxuan's salary of 15,000 yuan was doubled. But with Zhang Yuxuan's current fame, a few thousand more yuan is really a good deal.
There is no problem with the salary, but looking at Zhang Yuxuan's face: "The movie I filmed is a period drama in the 1960s and 1970s, so if you want to participate, you have to act ugly. Your face is so handsome
Point. Can you accept this?"
"Of course I can accept it. It's normal to act ugly when filming." Zhang Yuxuan nodded quickly.
"Well, okay, the role of Xiao Gen is yours." Wang Xiaoshuai made the decision directly.
Is this process considered an audition? It doesn’t seem to count, because Wang Xiaoshuai did not ask Yuxuan Zhang to perform anything or demonstrate his acting skills.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, the role of Xiao Gen really does not have many roles, and there are even fewer places that require acting skills.
Another point is that Wang Xiaoshuai is quite confident in his directing ability, and he is confident that he can develop qualified acting skills.
Of course, the main reason is that Xiaogen's role is so small that it's almost like a guest appearance.
…
Li He looked at Zhang Yuxuan in astonishment.
"Yuxuan, you go out today, and then you become the male lead in the new movie directed by Wang Xiaoshuai?" Li Hed couldn't understand this situation.
"Although I am said to be the leading male lead, I actually have very few scenes, which is a bit like a guest appearance. For the role of Xiao Gen that I want to play, the total number of scenes is probably only ten minutes. A two-hour movie.
, the male lead who appeared for ten minutes." Zhang Yuxuan said with a shrug.
"What's wrong with ten minutes? As long as it's the leading male role. Director Wang Xiaoshuai is actually a very capable director. His previous film "Eighteen Years Old Bicycle" won the Silver Bear Award jury at the Berlin Film Festival.
The two protagonists in it also won the Best New Actor Award. If you can participate in his movie, even if you are only the male lead in name, it will be of great help to you in the future." Li
Cod looks a little excited.
"I think so too." Zhang Yuxuan nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to call Sister Hua now and tell her the news. If you can win this role, let me tell you, the drama you want to shoot won't be that difficult either." Li Hedong said with a smile on his face.
She said happily, took out her mobile phone and immediately dialed Wang Jinghua's number.
After Wang Jinghua heard the news, her reaction was similar to Li Hu's.
Everyone was happy that Zhang Yuxuan arrived, but at the same time they couldn't help but wonder how Zhang Yuxuan could act in Wang Xiaoshuai's movie.
"It was recommended by Gao Yuanyuan." Zhang Yuxuan explained.
Hearing this, Li Hen looked at Zhang Yuxuan and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You and Gao Yuanyuan——"
"There is nothing between Gao Yuanyuan and I." Zhang Yuxuan said quickly.
"I know, of course I understand your character. But Gao Yuanyuan may not have no ideas."
"...I can't help it, who made me so handsome, so by being with me, you are taking advantage." Zhang Yuxuan said to Li Hedong in a tone that sounded like you were taking advantage.
After Li He found out that she and Zhang Yuxuan had broken the membrane, Zhang Yuxuan spoke more casually: "Indeed, I didn't expect that I could still eat a baby chicken."
"..." Zhang Yuxuan.
…
The shooting location of Qinghong is the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and it is still a relatively poor rural area.
It's difficult to walk in a place like this.
While riding in the car, Leslie Cheung almost got vomited on the road.
However, when he arrived at the shooting location and got out of the car, Zhang Yuxuan looked at the surrounding environment, but his expression did not change much.
How should I put it? Although this place looks a little poorer and a little backward, in this era, similar places and similar environments are actually not uncommon. The place where Zhang Yuxuan's hometown is in Shuicheng is also in the countryside.
The environment is actually not much different from here.
After Wang Xiaoshuai got out of the car, he glanced at Zhang Yuxuan and saw that there was no repulsive expression on Zhang Yuxuan's face, which made him feel relieved.
If Leslie Cheung comes here, sees this kind of environment, looks disgusted on his face, and then shouts that the filming is not going to be done and wants to go back, then that would be disrespectful.
After Zhang Yuxuan and others got off the bus, many people gathered around them, their eyes full of curiosity, and a little bit of fear in their curiosity.
At the same time, there were many children who stared at the crew's car without blinking, wanting to step forward but not daring.
Wang Xiaoshuai led his people and began to negotiate with these people.
It was said to be negotiation, but in fact Wang Xiaoshuai had already negotiated with the people here.
Filming here, renting the house here, and also inviting some local people to come and play roles, can allow some people to get a certain amount of remuneration. It's not much, just twenty or thirty yuan a day. But for such a poor area
For residents, twenty or thirty a day is already considered a very good income.
Gao Yuanyuan's face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he had not been very comfortable along the way.
"Sister Yuanyuan, how are you? Your face looks a little bad." Zhang Yuxuan looked at Gao Yuanyuan's pale face and asked.
"Oh, I didn't expect the road conditions here to be so bad. I got carsick. It feels so uncomfortable." Gao Yuanyuan said with a sad look on his face.
"Then quickly find a place to take a rest. Where is your assistant? Has he gone to see the director?"
"Yes. I went." Gao Yuanyuan nodded sadly.
Soon, Wang Xiaoshuai came back. Seeing Gao Yuanyuan in this state, he quickly asked someone to arrange a place for Gao Yuanyuan to rest.
Afterwards, Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Zhang Yuxuan's normal expression: "Yuxuan, how do you feel? Are you feeling well?"
"No, I feel okay." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.
"That's good, let's do this. After the camera is turned on, in two days, we will focus on filming your scenes, so that you can go back early." Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to still be worried about what would happen to the big star Zhang Yuxuan, so he planned to
Focus on Zhang Yuxuan's scenes and shoot all of Zhang Yuxuan's scenes in a few days.
It would be best if Leslie Cheung doesn't have any emotions. Even if he does, the filming will be finished and it won't have any impact on the crew.
"Oh, thank you, director." Although Zhang Yuxuan is not opposed to the current environment, if he can finish filming his scenes earlier, Zhang Yuxuan will still be happy to accept the special care from director Wang Xiaoshuai.
After resting all night, Wang Xiaoshuai made a simple power-on worship ceremony in the morning, a very simple one. A pig's head, an incense burner, a few incense sticks, and the power-on worship ceremony was completed.
Then the first day of shooting started.
Probably because he was worried that Zhang Yuxuan would not be able to find his form, the scenes on the first day did not involve Zhang Yuxuan.
It may also be because Gao Yuanyuan didn't look very good yesterday and was in a bad mental state, so Gao Yuanyuan was also absent from the scenes on the first day.
