Become a dramatist from today

"Director Yu, this is my opinion." Huang Baiyou flew to Xiangjiang and explained clearly what happened and the ending. The most important thing was to talk about the character of Thirteenth Lang of Nanhai in the plot. In the plot, Jiang Yuliu's ninth brother joined the army. For him, the current beginning is actually more coherent, and there is no need to reshoot to pursue the truth.

"Oh, that makes sense." Yu Mo took a sip of wolfberry tea. Huang Bai talked a lot, but he only listened to half of it.

Huang Baiyou noticed that Director Yu looked very embarrassed, and thought of the more than 40 days of filming, Yu Mo was probably not the kind of director who pursues art without hesitation, so it was difficult to reshoot this time...

"Did something happen?" Huang Baiyou asked.

The tea bottomed out, and Yu Mo was silent for a long time before speaking: "I got the news that "Shadow" will be released during the Christmas period."

Hearing this, Huang Baiyou asked subconsciously: "Then shall we change the schedule?"

"It's useless, "Shadow" is for our "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea"." Yu Mo said.

what's the situation? Director, aren't you and Lao Tu good friends? Huang Baiyou subconsciously wanted to say these two words, but he held back. He thought about it several times and finally understood.

"To be precise, he came for me, right?" Huang Baiyou asked.

Yu Mo nodded, his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink more tea. When he raised the cup and regained consciousness, it was already empty.

"Director Pei Wen is really good at it." Huang Bai said amusedly, "Is he really that confident in Chi Chang?"

Didn't "Shadow" change its actors? Huang Baiyou was replaced by Chi Chang, a junior, and in order to compensate, Lao Tucai, the chief steward of Pei Wen Studio, introduced him to the crew of "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea".

Recently, there have been many news reports on the Internet in which Pei Wen praised Chi Chang, such as "Chi Chang belongs to the kind of actors who are rewarded by God" and "Very hard-working. Chi Chang is very hard-working. Young actors in the industry should be like him." ", "I am very satisfied with his performance. I first gained 20 pounds of muscle for this drama, and then lost 40 pounds," etc.

If "Shadow" and "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" are to be released together, Pei Wen wants Chi Chang to step on Huang Baiyou and rise to the top.

After all, the starring role has been changed from Huang Baiyou to Chi Chang, and everyone knows that if it is released at the same time, as long as the film's performance is better than The Thirteenth Lang of the South China Sea, there will be something to talk about.

"That's why, Director Yu, you suddenly want to take risks and use outrageous lines to gain fame first." Huang Bai said, feeling a little empty in his heart. It turned out that it had nothing to do with artistic pursuits.

"Among the fifth-generation directors, there are many better conditions than Pei Wen. Some of them even started in Rome. He can become the most famous fifth-generation director. Not only is he fierce in making movies, he usually doesn't say anything, but once Playing tricks, just..." Yu Mo said, "Lao Tu apologized to me, but there was nothing he could do."

Friendship is indeed rare in the entertainment industry. What role Lao Tu plays in the whole thing can be understood after a little thought.

The waiter came to refill the tea. The red wolfberries were floating. Yu Mo went to the side and added a lot of more wolfberries. Huang Baiyou was startled. Can you eat the wolfberries without adding water?

"It was me who caused trouble for our crew." Huang Baiyou apologized.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Mr. Huang is really suitable to play Jiang Yuli. When we join the crew, we are all in the same boat." Yu Mo is anxious about competing on the same stage with Pei Wen.

Although Yu Mo is a first-line director, he is from Hong Kong and Taiwan after all, and he has no promotional resources in the mainland.

What size is Pei Wen? Promotional resources were absolutely squeezed to the bone, and every movie schedule was basically winner-take-all. He couldn't think of a way out, so he was ready to take the risk.

He took a sip of tea, oh no, a sip of wolfberry.

"The situation is indeed not good, but we should not panic. This way of trying to gain popularity is a bit suicidal." Huang Baiyou said, "In the current domestic film market, good movies are always watched by people. "Thirteenth Son of the South China Sea" The box office will definitely not be bad, Director Yu, don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Yu Mo looked at Huang Baiyou. There was no fear or avoidance in the latter's eyes, and he was confident.

The investment of Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea is only a few dollars, and a box office of 300 million is considered a big profit. Thinking about Huang Baiyou's current box office appeal, quality + appeal, the 300 million box office is basically within reach. Thinking of this, Yu Mo suddenly became less nervous. .

As a director, isn't it normal that you can't beat Pei Wen? Why should he compare with Pei Wen? Yu Mo complained in his mind about his abnormal thinking.

On the contrary, Huang Baiyou...

Yes, the actor in front of him who is about to be used as a grindstone is under the greatest pressure.

"Teacher Huang, where are your acting skills? Don't worry, there is no way you won't be able to film the scene no matter what." Yu Mo comforted him and made Huang Baiyou a cup of tea with wolfberry berries.

Looking at the half-full cup of wolfberry, Huang Baiyou's pupils dilated for a moment, "There's no need for Director Yu, there's no need to be so polite."

"You're welcome, wolfberry replenishes Qi. If you encounter this kind of thing, it will ensure smooth Qi." Yu Mo said.

Does wolfberry replenish qi?

After talking about the serious business, Yu Mo also wanted to invite Huang Baiyou to "play", which cannot be explained in detail. Yu Mo probably wanted to comfort Huang Baiyou. Yes, as a director, Yu Mo also believed that his work could not beat "Shadow", which meant that Huang Baiyou must be used as a whetstone.

After bidding farewell to the director, Huang Baiyou didn't go to play. He didn't think Thirteenth Lang of the South China Sea would lose at all.

The two roles of Tzuyu and Jingzhou in "Shadow" only cost 130,000 yuan in total, while Jiang Yuxiu's popularity is worth 150,000 yuan. Huang Baiyou believes in his acting skills and his judgment of acting well.

“It’s true that Pei Wen is a great director, but we still don’t know who will win!”

Huang Baiyou flew back to the capital that day, but in fact there was still something about Huang Baiyou in Xiangjiang.

A building in Causeway Bay, where Star Entertainment is located.

There is a fierce dispute in the company's general manager's office.

"Detective" is a co-production between Star Entertainment and Jinyi Film and Television, and Mr. Luo is also the chief producer of the film.

"How could this happen?" Wei Zhuang was very resentful of this arrangement. "Didn't we agree to use all actors from Xiangjiang?"

"The role of Matthews requires strong acting skills, otherwise he will only be a neurotic without a detective." Ju Xilei has no negative impression of mainland actors, but only supports his old friend Wei Zhuang.

"Is Huang Baiyou not good? You need acting skills and box office appeal. What else do you want?" Mr. Luo threw Huang Baiyou's resume on the table.

It sounds like Mr. Luo thought that the appointment of Huang Baiyou to perform "Detective" was a "suggestion" sent by the General Affairs Bureau. How dare he not listen? As for what is a general affairs bureau? To put it bluntly, the entire communications management of Hong Kong’s broadcasting, film ratings, newspaper and periodical registration, etc. are all under the jurisdiction of the Communications Bureau.

Not to mention Huang Baiyou is really a good candidate, even if the suggested candidate is a piece of shit, he still has to take it.

"If that's the case, I don't..." Wei Zhuang was interrupted by Ju Xilei before he could finish his words. He immediately asked, "Mr. Luo, is there no room for negotiation?"

"No, Matthews will be played by Huang Baiyou. Other than that, Wei Zhuang, you have absolute autonomy." Mr. Luo said.

"Mr. Luo, do you still remember what you said when you persuaded Xi Lei and me a few months ago?" Wei Zhuang repeated, "Come and film. I won't interfere with the creation and give you freedom."
