Director’s Legend

() The first time we met, to be honest, it was very ordinary. Everyone present here is the best in various industries, and they are very reserved.

The photographers are Huang Yuetai and Huang Jiahui, among the three well-known Huang brothers in Hong Kong, and Lu Le, the photographer of "Alive". These three big-name photographers each have their own styles. Erhuang doesn't have a fixed style, but he is good at creating a strange plot tension, while Lu Le is very good at controlling the big scene.

The art directors are Yang Zhenjian and Wang Rui. Yang Zhenjian is a well-known figure who is active in the domestic film industry. He is known as a generalist and is especially good at film evaluation. Wang Rui is the head of the director department of Nortel, a master figure.

Lei Chuxiong and Liu Jingping were invited for the art design. Lei Chuxiong is the art designer of "Thousands of Changes" and a Hong Kong Film Award-level figure. In comparison, Liu Jingping's qualifications are a little shallow, and he has only done art design in TV dramas, but Shao Shuaijun is very optimistic about him. He is the original art designer of "Painted Skin".

The action director is Dong Wei, who has won three Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Action Director. The costume designer is Wu Baoling, known as Sister Bobo, who has won awards for the Golden Horse and Golden Statue, and is a senior stylist. Zou Lin, lighting engineer, Bao Yi, props engineer, Luke, sound engineer, Qi Wenwei, stage manager, Qiqi, Pu Jiawei, Su Yaocong, scene recorder, are all experienced personnel.

Of course, these people are the heads of various departments. Once the crew is formally established, these people will bring their disciples and grandchildren to join them.

After a very quiet banquet, Shao Shuaijun handed over the tidy work of the staff to several assistant directors, and went to participate in this year's Shanghai Film Festival Awards Ceremony by himself as the award presenter. Originally, he didn't bother to participate, but after some things, he also understood that the so-called seniority is increased by exposure one after another.

Only when you have been recognized by others can you be eligible to present awards.

Shao Shuaijun is going to present the best actress award, which is a great affirmation. If it is not the most popular figure this year, it will never be invited. It's just a pity that "Source Code" is such a classic, but it hasn't been affirmed at all, and it wasn't selected for any nominations at the Shanghai Film Festival.

For the sake of the international style and the literary style, the Shanghai Film Festival almost abandons the Chinese people.

As usual, the one who is going to walk the red carpet, the red carpet arranged by the program group for Shao Shuaijun is Zhao Wei. This surprised Shao Shuaijun, it was really a coincidence, he was about to find Zhao Wei to play the role of Pei Rong in "Painted Skin".

"Hello, Director Shao." Zhao Wei greeted her generously.

"Hello." Shao Shuaijun nodded, and randomly asked straightforwardly, "Zhao Wei, are you free for the latest schedule? I want to find you to film."

"Looking for me?" Zhao Wei was surprised.

"Of course, I saw your performance in "The Lover's Knot". It was wonderful. Since you were a little swallow, your acting skills have improved a lot. Have you heard of my new movie "Painted Skin"? There are three protagonists in it, among them The role of Pei Rong, I like you very much, do you have a schedule? The time will be very long, it may take more than half a year to shoot."

If possible, Shao Shuaijun didn't want to change too many roles, plagiarism already made him feel guilty, and he wanted to ruin the opportunities of these actors, which made him even more uneasy. If possible, he will try to use the original team.

"Of course I am willing. Thank you, Director Shao. I will play this role well with my heart." Zhao Weixi couldn't help herself. Ever since Little Swallow became popular, her popularity has been very high, but her popularity is limited, mainly because she doesn't have many high box office. The movie's performance on the big screen was not satisfactory, and it was even called box office poison at one time.

Talking, the two went on the red carpet. Immediately, the crowd on both sides began to shout, some shouted Xiao Yanzi, and some called Shao Shuaijun. The release of "Source Code" has brought countless popularity to Shao Shuaijun, the youngest director, the youngest director with a box office of 100 million yuan, the youngest king of the mainland, and so on, the titles are endless.

Of course, compared with Little Swallow, Shao Shuaijun's popularity is not high, and he is really low-key.

Zhao Wei waved to the audience and nodded from time to time. Shao Shuaijun completely ignored the audience on the sidelines, and said to himself: "I will send you a script later, and you can figure out the role of Pei Rong at home. My opinion is that Pei Rong is a hesitant and innocent A woman of confidence, you have to suppress yourself to achieve the spirit likeness of the character."

"Ok, I see."

After a while, we will come to the end, accept interviews and sign on the red wall.

The host is a man, and Shao Shuaijun doesn't know him.

"Director Shao and Zhao Wei, please come here. According to the usual practice, we need to interview the two. Director Shao, who do you think will win the best actress award today?"

Shao Shuaijun said directly: "Zhao Wei."

"Why are you so optimistic about Zhao Wei?"

"It's very simple, because Zhao Wei is right next to me, do you want me to talk about someone else?"

"Uh, it seems to be the case. Well, Zhao Wei, are you confident in winning the prize today? I feel that you are very happy now?"

Zhao smiled and said: "After hearing the words of director Shao Shuaijun, I feel that my hope today is very high. He is an expert, and he must be very accurate in judging people."

Shao Shuaijun immediately explained: "I'm sorry, I like to talk nonsense with my eyes open, you'd better not take it seriously."

"Haha, thank you both, please sign on the red wall."

Signatures, seats, and then the awards ceremony began. As a result, Zhao Wei lived up to expectations and won the Best Actress Award. Then Shao Shuaijun presented the Best Director Award to a foreigner, and Shao Shuaijun almost mispronounced his name. When the director came to the stage to accept the award, Shao Shuaijun wanted to praise him, but the other party didn't understand his crappy accent.

After participating in the Shanghai Film Festival, Shao Shuaijun rushed back to the capital overnight, and continued to discuss the preparation of the crew with the producers and assistant directors. The staff is complete, now only the cast is missing.

"Several leading actors, I have candidates in my mind. Wang Sheng gave it to Chen Kun, Pei Rong gave it to Zhao Wei, Xiao Wei gave it to Zhou Xun, Pang Yong could find real bullets, and Xia Bing gave it to Sun Li." Shao Shuaijun wrote Arrangement, as the director, he only needs to determine the starring lineup, and other actors will be assigned to others, including Xiao Yi, who is a very important role.

After finishing speaking, Gao Linbao coughed: "Director Shao, Chen Kun's reputation is a bit small, but I think Xie Tingfeng is very suitable for the role of Wang Sheng. Director Shao, do you want to think about it?"

"No, when I set up Wang Sheng, I used Chen Kun as a reference. And the gimmick of the painted skin is enough, I don't need any superstar to increase the appeal, I just need the most suitable actor." Shao Shuaijun frowned.

"You're the director, I'll listen to you." Gao Linbao shrugged.

As soon as Gao Linbao finished speaking, Huang Qunfei laughed and said, "Actually, I think Xie Tingfeng is more suitable for Wang Sheng's role than Chen Kun. Chen Kun's acting path is too narrow, and I'm afraid he can't play Wang Sheng's handsome and unrestrained character. heroic."

Shao Shuaijun glanced at Huang Qunfei indifferently: "Wang Sheng is Chen Kun, there is no doubt about that, let's discuss the next topic."
