The Matrix crew of Wang Cheng and Qin Mo are already famous in Hengdian.
There is no other reason, just because Wang Cheng is famous enough!
Everyone wants to take advantage of Wang Cheng's popularity and try to join Wang Cheng's crew.
However, when it comes to their own careers, some powerful actors who cherish feathers have put out this idea.
They can participate in variety shows to get Wang Cheng's popularity, because it will not affect their own professional work as actors and acting careers.
However, if they participate in Wang Cheng's movie, their reputation may also collapse as soon as it is released!
Wang Cheng has many auras attached to him. A collapse of his reputation will not have a fatal impact, it is just that he is missing a perfect aura.
However, these powerful actors don’t want their acting careers to be imperfect, so after thinking about it, almost none of the powerful actors came to participate in Wang Cheng’s casting!
And many young traffic stars who have no burden and just want to gain popularity and traffic have come to participate in the casting. They don't care about reputation or not, as long as there is popularity.
There are also many young actors who are not well-known and have signed up.
For a time…
Su Hailong’s casting scene was crowded with people, and many media came to report on the scene.
Su Hailong took the role requirements given to him by Wang Cheng and the tone of the film into consideration when casting.
Wang Cheng set the tone for this movie in one word—cool!
After carefully studying the script, Su Hailong's many years of career told him that this was not a bad movie.
Of course, just in terms of the script, it was not a bad script, but a science fiction script that surprised him. He gradually understood some of the settings and lines after careful study, and after understanding them, he was very excited. numb.
So, he knew that this might be the opportunity he had been waiting for for many years.
As for whether the movie is a bad one, we won’t know until Wang Cheng makes it.
However, he believes that with his own help, even if Wang Cheng does not know how to make movies, he can produce good results with just this script. When the time comes and the post-production special effects are added, there is definitely a possibility that the movie will explode once it is released.
He has been an assistant director for many years and has been deeply involved in the shooting of many mid- to upper-level investment films. He has long had the ability to direct independently, but he has no background or capital support, so he has never been able to get the opportunity to direct good films independently.
As for some bad movies and commercials, he doesn't even bother to direct them.
This time Qin Mo was looking for an assistant director, and he recommended himself. He originally wanted to ride on Wang Cheng's popularity, and afterwards he accumulated a reputation that could attract investment.
He didn’t expect that he was already ready to make a bad movie, but Wang Cheng gave him a surprise!
“Wang Cheng is here…”
While he was seriously selecting the role, his assistant came over and said something to him.
Su Hailong immediately stood up and walked to the back studio. He saw Wang Cheng standing there and looking at the notes he had written. Many of them were his personal understanding of the script and characters, so that they would not make mistakes during filming.
Seeing Wang Cheng reading his notes, Su Hailong was a little embarrassed and stepped forward to explain: "These are some ideas I came up with after carefully studying the script. Can you see if there are any problems?"
Wang Cheng took a rough look at it and could already tell that Su Hailong did have a deep understanding of the script he had written and had made a preliminary shooting plan.
Such a practical director with strength and talent, just being an assistant director is a bit of a waste.
With Su Hailong’s ability, he can easily serve as the director of a large-scale production!
However, Wang Cheng didn't care about this. He returned Su Hailong's notes to him, glanced at the densely packed actors waiting in line behind him for auditions, and asked softly: "How is the casting going?"
Su Hailong immediately replied: "It's going pretty well. A few important roles have been initially decided, and some other supporting roles will be finalized soon. If everything goes well, it will end tomorrow and the filming will officially start the day after tomorrow!"
Su Hailong knew that there was not much time for shooting, so he arranged it in a hurry!
Qin Mo also said next to him: "The crew has been initially assembled, and the shooting location is being set up! The special effects team will arrive tomorrow. You can discuss the special effects production with them in advance!"
Wang Cheng nodded, quite satisfied with their efficiency.
He doesn’t like doing things procrastinatingly, so he nodded and said, “Okay!”
After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng did not show up at the casting scene, but said to Qin Mo: "Let the special effects team come over early! How are the preparations for the costumes and props?"
Qin Mo: "I arranged the costumes and props yesterday, and they can be delivered tomorrow."
Wang Cheng: “Okay!”
After saying that, Wang Cheng turned around and left.
Didn’t stay here too long.
Su Hailong and Qin Mo both breathed a sigh of relief. They both felt like they were facing a top director.
No!
Su Hailong worked as an assistant director on the set of a top domestic director. The top domestic director did not put as much pressure on him as Wang Cheng did.
It seems that Wang Cheng was not involved in anything.
However, both Su Hailong and Qin Mo knew that Wang Cheng had everything under control.
Qin Mo felt a little relaxed in his heart.
She thought she would do everything this time, but she didn't expect that Wang Cheng would arrange everything in such a comprehensive way. All she had to do was execute it, which made her feel much less stressed.
…
afternoon!
Wang Cheng just got up from his nap.
Qin Mo knocked on the door and walked into Wang Cheng's room, bringing two figures with him.
When the two saw Wang Cheng, they quickly stepped forward to shake hands.
“Wang Cheng, we meet again.”
“Wang Cheng…”
The visitors are Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran from the capital.
Xie Xingfeng sat down and looked at the many characters and background pictures on the table that Wang Cheng had written and drawn, and asked: "Wang Cheng, I heard that you wrote the script of this play and also acted as the director yourself. I came here to ask you , do you need help? I still know many people in the industry. If you need any actors or other behind-the-scenes personnel, you can tell me and I can help you find them!"
Xie Xingfeng really wanted to help Wang Cheng, and at the same time, he could build a good relationship with Wang Cheng and have a basis for future cooperation.
He recognized Wang Cheng's acting skills very much.
He feels that Wang Cheng will definitely make great progress in acting.
However, not everyone can be a director.
Qin Shangran also smiled and said: "Director Xie can definitely provide you with a lot of help. By the way, Wang Cheng, is there no problem with the arrangements for the Spring Festival Gala?"
Qin Shangran came to see Wang Cheng in person, and he was a little reluctant. He wanted to see if Wang Cheng could handle the filming. If he couldn't, he would persuade Wang Cheng to go to a variety show!
He also hopes to work with Wang Cheng again to create a miracle of nine-point ratings.
Wang Cheng shook his head: "This drama should be finished before the Spring Festival, and it won't delay the Spring Festival Gala! As for help, we don't need it. Everything is going smoothly for the crew for now!"
Xie Xingfeng smiled and said: "That's great! The Spring Festival Gala has specially designed a stage style for you!"
Wang Cheng is not very interested in these. All his attention now is on the movie that is about to start shooting.
Having a perfectionist personality, he must do his best and go all out when doing things!
Qin Shangran's lips moved, and he had a lot to say to Wang Cheng in his heart.
I would like to ask Wang Cheng if he can continue to appear on CCTV programs.
I would like to ask Wang Cheng if he can participate in activities in the Beijing cultural circle and bring the works he wrote on the Ganxi Satellite TV program.
I would also like to ask Wang Cheng...
Can you lend him the Preface to Prince Teng’s Pavilion for a few days?
As for the idea of purchasing the Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion and other works by Wang Cheng, he didn't even dare to think about it.
The Maple Bridge Night Mooring was sold for a sky-high price of over 1.5 billion. It was absolutely impossible for Qin Shangran to come up with such a large amount of money. Even if he sold the heirlooms passed down by several ancestors in his family, he would not be able to raise the money. So much money. Moreover, now that the country has officially recognized the value of Wang Cheng’s works and restricted the export of Wang Cheng’s works abroad, the value of Wang Cheng’s works has also been further enhanced!
He heard that someone was offering a sky-high price of 2 billion for the pair of Magpie Bridge Immortals in Yu Hong's hands. It was really crazy.
But Yu Hong still didn’t sell it.
Xie Xingfeng also has a lot of words that he has not said...
Many people in the famous film and television schools such as Bei Power Bei Film, and many people dragged him to ask Wang Cheng if he could take a role in Wang Cheng's movie.
Those famous actors cherish their feathers and will not take risks to star in bad movies, but those students who have just graduated or have not yet graduated don't care. They just want to accumulate fame quickly, or many people don't care about anything and just think about Wang Cheng. Cooperate and meet Wang Cheng!
However, Xie Xingfeng looked at Wang Cheng and didn't want to pay attention to them at all, so he couldn't say these words.
The two of them just chatted for a few words about work, then said goodbye and left!
Walking out of Wang Cheng's room, Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran had complicated moods, and they were silent for a while...
As they walked into the elevator, the two of them looked at each other.
Xie Xingfeng said softly: "Wang Cheng will be the director. I hope he will not fall too hard and collapse. I also want to continue to cooperate with him in the future."
Qin Shangran also said in agreement: "I want to continue to see him write masterpieces that are handed down from generation to generation! I have to watch the video of the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion at least once a day to enjoy it. It is truly the number one parallel prose of all time! If he is hit this time, If we can no longer write such good works in the future, it will be a loss for the entire Chinese literary world. Rubik's Cube Entertainment will be a sinner of history..."
Xie Xingfeng’s eyes flickered a little, and he felt a little depressed.
He, the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, suddenly felt a little melancholy at this time.
It seems that the Spring Festival Gala he directed this year is not so important.
Wang Cheng has raised the ratings of local TV stations to levels that were previously unimaginable, and created one exciting topic after another that affects everyone in the country, which has greatly reduced the presence of the annual Spring Festival Gala.
Even he himself felt a little dull.
It seems that directing the Spring Festival Gala is not as influential as the traditional cultural programs that CCTV invited Wang Cheng to produce.
The ratings are over 7 or 8 points, and the influence is no less than the influence of the Spring Festival Gala at 10 or 20 pm!
After all, the Spring Festival Gala’s ratings are huge.
“Hey, I just forgot to ask when he was going to rehearse. I also forgot to ask him what song he was going to sing...”
Xie Xingfeng patted his head and said with some annoyance.
Qin Shangran: “Ask me next time!”
Xie Xingfeng was helpless.
Because Wang Cheng answered everyone's phone calls, he couldn't contact Wang Cheng in private at all, unless he asked Shen Shenghui to run errands.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Qin Shangran saw Xia Xi walking across the street, holding some tea leaves and some snacks. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Xia Xi, how are you? Are you used to coming here?"
He knew that Xia Xi was Wang Cheng’s personal assistant at this time!
The host who had the potential to become the first sister of CCTV resigned to work as a personal assistant to Wang Cheng.
Qin Shangran could only admire Wang Cheng's attractiveness in his heart, which made Xia Xi, a strong and talented woman from a famous family, give up all her prospects.
Xia Xi smiled at the two of them: "Hello, Director Qin, and Director Xie! I'm quite used to it, and Wang Cheng is easy to get along with!"
Wang Cheng is very easy to get along with...
These words left Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran unable to complain.
They sat at Wang Cheng's place for a while, and Wang Cheng glanced at them and ignored them.
"Used to it!"
Qin Shangran smiled and said, "Then let's go first!"
Xia Xi smiled and waved to the two of them, then turned and walked into the elevator. She wanted to quickly make tea for Wang Cheng.
This tea is from the Dahongpao mother tree that she specially asked an acquaintance to send from Wuyi Mountain. This is a truly rare and top-quality tea. There is not much production in a year. Every portion cannot be bought with money. There is no big enough tea. Background relationship, I can't get anything at all.
She asked an acquaintance at home to ask for it. When the other person heard that he wanted to drink it for Wang Cheng, he was willing to go through a lot of effort to bring it over.
Such a good tea, she just wants to make tea for Wang Cheng quickly!
…
Qin Mo waited in Wang Cheng's room for a long time, while Wang Cheng continued to write and draw on several pieces of paper, and then handed a large stack of papers to Qin Mo.
"These are all split shots! There are also preliminary special effects screen settings. You can show it to Su Hailong and the special effects team. They will discuss it and point out any shortcomings. If there are no problems, just follow this Do!"
Wang Cheng said to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo took it over and looked at it in shock.
She was a newcomer who knew nothing at the time, and she knew that this was definitely not something that ordinary directors could do.
"good!"
Qin Mo agreed, without saying anything more, and immediately turned around and went to work.
At this time, she has also transformed into a strong woman. She puts work first and wants to make this movie quickly to prove herself!
Not a while.
Xia Xi walked in and made a cup of tea for Wang Cheng first. The process of making tea was extremely complicated, but she enjoyed it very much. She was extremely patient and elegant in every step, and finally handed the cup of tea to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng didn't pay attention to Xia Xi's tea making process. When he was working, his mind was on his work. He took a sip of Xia Xi's tea and his eyes lit up slightly.
“Tea from the Dahongpao mother tree?”
Wang Cheng asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.
He had only drunk this tea twice in his previous life, and he couldn't bear to drink it even after it reached a certain point!
Unexpectedly, Xia Xi actually brought him this tea leaf to make tea.
Xia Xi also flashed a hint of surprise, but she didn't expect Wang Cheng to drink it.
This means that Wang Cheng drank it?
“Well, it’s tea from the Dahongpao tree. Have you ever drank it?”
Xia Xi asked curiously.
Wang Cheng shook his head: "No, I've seen it and smelled it! I'm interested!"
When Xia Xi heard Wang Cheng's compliment, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face: "It's okay, as long as you are happy!"
With that said, Xia Xi saw that Wang Cheng had been sitting there writing and drawing, so he stood up and walked towards Wang Cheng: "Are your shoulders tired from sitting like this all the time?"
She stretched out a pair of snow-white and soft arms to rub Wang Cheng's shoulders!
However, Wang Cheng frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to block Xia Xi's movement, and said lightly: "No need!"
After saying that, Wang Cheng continued to write and draw.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Xi's face, but she was not angry. She smiled slightly and continued to make tea for Wang Cheng.
…
the next day.
Wang Cheng went to the set.
today.
The Matrix has officially started filming!
The actors selected by Su Hailong all gathered together, waiting for Wang Cheng to appear.
Nine o'clock!
Wang Cheng appeared on the set on time. Seeing everyone waiting for him, his eyes were filled with excitement, and he said calmly: "From now on, my crew will go to work on time at nine o'clock in the morning and get off work at eight o'clock in the afternoon! Everyone! No need to arrive first, no need to work overtime!”
Forehead…
Everyone was stunned for a moment. (End of chapter)
