Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 299: As an actor, I am required to have the physical fitness of an astronaut?

After Ma Yong finished the phone call with Xu Nuo, he bought a flight ticket from Haicheng to Yuzhou City that night on his mobile phone, and then booked a hotel.

Because the date Ma Yong made an appointment with Xu Nuo on the phone is tomorrow!

If you buy a ticket to fly to Yuzhou City tomorrow, you will have to hurry up to see Director Xu after landing. There will be no rest time. If you are not in good condition, then this "Ma Zhao" who is about to star in "The Wandering Earth" ” role, wouldn’t that mean the cooked duck flew away?
Ma Yong wanted such a role, not because of the salary or because he wanted to be an actor, but because he wanted to fulfill his dream of being a guest star in a blockbuster movie.

I used to make guest appearances in several movies adapted from my own novels, but those movies, produced by Penguin Films, were all flopped after they were released.

This time "The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction novel that Ma Yong particularly likes, and coupled with the fact that it is directed and filmed by Xu Nuo, a world-renowned director, it will definitely be a blockbuster, no doubt about it!
Whether the dream can come true depends on meeting Director Xu this time. Director Xu is not satisfied with himself.

This is the smart villa in Chengnanshan, Yuzhou.

After Xu Nuo hung up the phone, he said to his assistant Wen Ruohan: "Xiao Wen, make arrangements tomorrow to audition this teacher Ma at the Real Group Building."

"Are you sure you want him to play a role?"

Wen Ruohan nodded, and then asked curiously.

"more or less."

"But boss, I remember that this Ma Yong used to be at odds with you. He had some grievances with you online before, right?"

When Wen Ruohan said this, he looked at Guan Ju: "Sister Guan Ju, the Internet has memory, don't you think so?"

"Yes."

Guan Ju nodded, and then in the next second, some remarks that Ma Yong made about Xu Nuo on the Internet several years ago were displayed on the holographic display desktop.

At that time, Xu Nuo was still a little-known director with no famous film works, and Real Group did not develop rapidly and become bigger and stronger. In addition, the movie adapted from Ma Yong's novel ran into Xu Nuo's "The End". "He" and "Transformers" and so on, so Ma Yong had some contemptuous or disdainful remarks about Xu Nuo at that time.

"Guan Ju, you really found these."

Xu Nuo smiled and then said: "Those are all old memories from the past. I think this Ma Yong is not a bad person. Guan Ju, has he donated money to charity?"

"Yes sir, Ma Yong has successively donated a total of about 150 million soft sister coins to the Hope Primary School project in western my country."

Guan Ju replied.

"OK then."

Wen Ruohan just remembered some of the "grievances" this man had with his boss a few years ago. Since his boss didn't say anything, and this man was indeed doing charity, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"I'll make arrangements right away. Then boss, these actors from the entertainment industry who have been sorted out by Sister Guan Ju to play the roles of Tu Hengyu in the movie will also be contacted immediately and arrange auditions?"

Wen Ruohan quickly returned to work matters and asked her boss seriously.

"Hmm, let's start contacting each other. It's time to start the casting process for "The Wandering Earth". At the same time, the crew has to start making preparations."

Xu Nuo thought for a while, nodded and said.

The workload of "The Wandering Earth" to be filmed this time is much greater than that of previous films.

Just a real shot of the moon requires a lot of effort. After all, if you really go to the moon to shoot, all aspects of coordination and preparation must be in place before you go.

"okay."

Wen Ruohan was very happy when he saw that there was a lot of work to do again.

Speaking of which, Wen Ruohan really loves her job of taking care of everything for her boss Xu Nuo. Although she is very busy sometimes, the work she does will eventually produce a lot of results. She is very proud and excited just thinking about it.

Coupled with the salary and benefits provided by his boss, Wen Ruohan's current income is very considerable. Buying a big house and buying everything he wants has become an achievable goal.

the next day.

Xu Nuo once again came to his real group building.

And successfully met Ma Yong, a well-known domestic science fiction writer.

"Director Xu, hello, hello."

After Ma Yong saw Xu Nuo, he came forward to shake hands and say hello with a happy face.

Xu Nuo arranged for Ma Yong to come over for an "audition" today. It was not a formal audition process, he just wanted to take a look at Ma Yong himself.

After meeting this Ma Yong today, Xu Nuo's first impression was quite good. This man was quite interesting to look at.

"Hello UM writer."

Xu Nuo shook hands with Ma Yong cordially, and then said with a smile: "Are there any new works recently?"

"I'm going to write a new novel, but this time it's going to be a suspense one."

Ma Yong replied with a smile.

"Suspense? Are you preparing to transform?"

Xu Nuo asked curiously after hearing this.

"Not really, it's just suspenseful science fiction. Add some suspense elements and even a little horror elements to the science fiction. Try more."

Ma Yong shook his head and explained.

When Xu Nuo heard this, he thought that Ma Yong still had some opinions of his own when it came to creation.

In the past, he wrote about science fiction romance, which was set in interstellar space, but what he wrote was mainly about love and resentment. If you call this type of science fiction novel, it is science fiction, but it does have a science fiction background. You can say that it is No, it really doesn't have that sci-fi flavor. After all, it's all about love, love, grudges and grudges.

Now Ma Yong has actually taken the step of "transformation" and started to try to write suspense science fiction or horror science fiction.

When Xu Nuo mentioned this, he thought of "Alien". There might actually be a market for this type of science fiction novel.

"Good."

Xu Nuo smiled and nodded, and then got down to business: "Let's talk about the role of Ma Zhao. To be honest, this role requires an actor with some acting skills. But as you said, Dr. Ma, you used to be a dramatist." It’s from the club, right?”

"That's right, my acting skills are definitely not as good as those of professional actors, but don't worry, Director Xu, I'm eager to learn. How about I give you a performance and see how my basic skills are?"

As soon as Ma Yong saw Director Xu talking about business, he became very active and prepared to perform well.

I arrived at Yuzhou City last night just to get in good shape. Today I will show off in front of Director Xu, try to get the role of Ma Zhao, and fulfill my dream.

Originally, Ma Yong just wanted to make a cameo, but Director Xu unexpectedly gave himself such an important role as Ma Zhao.

At first, Ma Yong didn't have much confidence, but Director Xu spoke on the phone to cheer him up, so Ma Yong thought about using his best condition to show his previous performance in today's "audition" session. The foundation in the drama club.

"That's fine. Dr. Ma, you have watched "The Wandering Earth", and you must know the character of Ma Zhao, so let's show him that kind of calmness." Xu Nuo naturally agreed and let Ma Zhao Show your courage.

Let's see what level he can achieve in terms of acting skills.

"Row!"

When Ma Yong heard this, he nodded immediately, and then coughed twice: "Ahem."

This is adjusting the state and entering the state. Xu Nuo is very familiar with it. Generally, many actors have this habit.

After a while, as expected, Ma Yong's entire facial expression was moved by him.

When he met Xu Nuo just now, he still had a smile on his face, but now he seems to be in a serious state, and Xu Nuo also sees a sense of calmness, but this state is not particularly strong and needs to be improved.

But being able to show such a feeling is already more in line with the character of "Ma Zhao".

Because in the movie, the character Ma Zhao has a serious face, he is calm and cautious, but he is not without emotions. His emotions are hidden under the cold appearance.

For example, after Tu Hengyu's daughter Tu Yaya had a car accident, when she chose to lose her life or save her and turn her into a digital life, Ma Zhao agreed to let Tu Hengyu's daughter leave something behind. Tu Hengyu’s daughter became a digital life.

If Xu Nuo were asked to give Ma Yong a score for his calmness and seriousness, he would definitely get five points. In addition, his personal image and temperament are somewhat similar to the "Ma Zhao" in Xu Nuo's imagination. Similar, add two more points, that's seven points.

Naturally, Xu Nuo didn't expect to find a ten-point "Horse Sign". It was already considered good to have a seven-point one.

"Boss, I think he looks cold and serious. Does this fit the character of Ma Zhao?"

The assistant next to him, Wen Ruohan, looked at Ma Yong for a while, then asked in the boss Xu Nuo's ear.

"It's like six or seven points."

Xu Nuo nodded with satisfaction, then showed a smile on his face and said to Ma Yong: "Okay, Dr. Ma, I took a look and found that you can control your facial expression well. No wonder you did it in college before. Drama club.”

This means that Ma Yong has a pretty good acting talent and foundation. As long as Xu Nuo gives more guidance and plays the role of "Ma Zhao", not to mention [-]% interpreting the Ma Zhao of Teacher Ning in the previous life on earth. But at least passing is not a problem.

It's good that this way, the role of Ma Zhao is almost confirmed, and it can be regarded as helping Dr. Ma realize his dream of starring in a blockbuster.

"Hey, Director Xu, if you say that, you are sure of me?"

Ma Yong put away his calm expression and put a smile on his face again.

Don't tell me, this guy's facial expressions are quite smooth.

"I think you have the foundation to play the role of Ma Zhao, but you still need to improve. This shouldn't be a big problem, but"

Although it is certain that Ma Yong has acting talent and a certain foundation, Xu Nuo has another worry, that is, Ma Yong's physical fitness is not known.

"What's wrong, Director Xu, is there anything inappropriate?"

Seeing that Xu Nuo was hesitant, Ma Yong asked quickly.

"I just don't know if Dr. Ma's body is strong enough."

Xu Nuo looked Ma Yong up and down, then touched his chin and muttered: "Is he a little fatter?"

It's not that he's a little fat and not suitable for playing the role of Ma Zhao, it's just that Xu Nuo is worried that Ma Yong's physical fitness is not good enough. In this case, some special means will have to be used.

"Fat?"

Ma Yong turned around and showed off his figure: "I control it very well."

"It's just a little bit, it's not a big problem, it can be solved by just shaping it. But if you want to play the role of Ma Zhao, you must be good enough in all aspects of your body's functions."

Xu Nuo stated the requirements of the role.

"Isn't my physical fitness good enough?"

Ma Yong quickly raised his hand again and made a gesture to show off his muscles.

"Dr. Ma, do you know what standards our crew follows for the role of Ma Zhao?"

Xu Nuo smiled lightly and asked.

"I don't know, what standard?"

Ma Yong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and asked.

"astronaut!"

Xu Nuo read out these three words one by one.

I can't give it to Ma Yong directly. No, if I'm making a movie and I'm an actor, you still require me to have the physical fitness standards of an astronaut?

Everyone in Ma Yong was dumbfounded.

That is why ah?

"Director Xu, why is this? Is it possible that we still want to go to space?"

Ma Yong was very puzzled and asked quickly.

"That's right, Dr. Ma, haven't you read the novel? Didn't the character Ma Zhao have a plot with Tu Hengyu on the moon? Naturally, this plot had to be filmed."

Xu Nuo nodded calmly and said.

"Real shot?"

Ma Yong was completely stunned.

It’s not Director Xu, are you serious?Nima, are you really going to go to the moon to film "The Wandering Earth"?
"Yes, it's real shooting. I have already communicated with the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration. Our real aerospace industry is also making preparations in this regard."

Xu Nuo was still as calm as the wind, and said to Ma Yong with a smile.

Ma Yong was shocked now. It shocked him for a whole year. He had previously posted a barrage in Xu Nuo's live broadcast room asking some questions about the filming of "The Wandering Earth", which involved whether real shooting could be carried out. At that time, regardless of Whether it was Ma Yong or the vast majority of viewers in the live broadcast room who had watched "The Wandering Earth", they all believed that it was almost impossible to actually shoot this movie!
Afterwards, Ma Yong discussed it with his friend Lao Zhang and believed that it was theoretically feasible to go to the moon to actually shoot the scene.

But that's only in theory. Who knows how much this trip will cost? And it's not just a matter of money. Is it possible for a director like you to go up to the moon if you want?You can use the moon base whenever you want?

Taking these factors into account, Ma Yong still believes that it is impossible for Xu Nuo to actually shoot "The Wandering Earth".

As a result, my dear, you told me to go to the moon for real-life shooting, and I, Ma Yong, am going to play the role of Ma Zhao in this plot!

At this moment, Ma Yong's mind was blank!
After a long time, Ma Yong came to his senses, and his husband was shocked. But after he came to his senses, Ma Yong actually felt quite excited for some reason.
