Chapter 495 Methodical Four Vegetables and One Soup
In order to revise the script, Qi Ji held his laptop and wrote all night long.
It wasn't until the sky turned white and the whole city slowly woke up in the light mist that Qi Ji wrote the 2.0 version of "Hurry Up" and sent it directly to Lu Liang's mailbox.
He also sent a message to Lu Liang and said: "I have probably written the new script. Let's take a look at it together. If there are any questions, I will wake up in the afternoon and let's discuss it together!"
After Qi Ji finished speaking, he sent another voice message to Teacher Xiuxiu to explain, then he turned off the phone and started to catch up on his sleep.
On the other side, Lu Liang happily received Qi Ji's new notebook. He originally planned to hold a morning meeting with his team, but he directly patted the table and said to everyone: "Everyone should be busy with what you are doing first.
I've finished reading Teacher Qi Ji's new book, and we'll have another meeting in the afternoon."
At this time, a female employee in professional attire stood up, waved to Lu Liang, and said hesitantly: "Director Lu, Teacher Ai Yunqing and his team are still waiting in the hotel, saying that today is the last day.
The deadline is up, they have to take a flight at night to catch up with the announcement!"
Lu Liang slapped his head and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it!"
Qi Ji briefly told Lu Liang yesterday that he wanted to change the script.
Because he really felt that Ai Yunqing was very suitable for the role of An Xin, Lu Liang temporarily asked Ai Yunqing's team, who were already preparing to leave by plane, to stay here for one more day.
I hope to wait until Qi Ji's new script comes out to see if Ai Yunqing still wants to play this role.
After hearing what the employee said, Lu Liang immediately arranged for someone to print out two new copies of the "Kurst" script, and then called Ai Yunqing.
Half an hour later, Lu Liang met Ai Yunqing and his party in a local hotel.
The two shook hands in a friendly manner, and Ai Yunqing said with a smile: "Director Lu, I know what you mean, but you also know that I have gotten to this level, and many times, I can't help it. If
I ruined my own reputation because of a role. It was not just a simple matter of losing fans, it even had an impact on many of my A-level endorsements."
Lu Liangming nodded and said: "You good actors all cherish their own feathers, of course I know that. But you have to know, this is Teacher Qi Ji's book!"
Lu Liang handed the new "Kurst" script to Ai Yunqing.
Ai Yunqing took it silently.
To be honest, when he received Lu Liang's invitation and received the script of "Crazy" a week ago, he was very happy.
In particular, Lu Liang hopes that he will play the male lead in this book.
This is Qi Ji’s notebook!
Among Qi Ji's scripts in the industry, even "The Myth", which is called Qi Ji's worst script, has a very considerable bonus for the actors.
So his first reaction was that he must star in this drama.
Not only do you have to perform, but you also have to put in all your energy to perform.
To Lu Liang and to Qi Ji, show your best self.
In this case, I will have more possibilities to cooperate with Qi Ji in the future.
But after reading the script of "Crazy", Ai Yunqing regretted it.
An Xin, who plays the role of a tool man, would have followed without hesitation if he had been himself three years ago, or even two years ago.
But now I am different, and I can be considered a top-notch person in the industry.
Looking at the entire China Entertainment Circle, except for Qi Ji, who is number one at the top, there are only so many people below.
And I am one of these people.
So Ai Yunqing has a lot to consider.
In fact, if it weren't for Qi Ji's reputation, Ai Yunqing would have left directly last night.
Because it was said to be a script change, but Ai Yunqing knew that even if Qi Ji spent one night revising the script, how many changes could be made?
Although he had such thoughts in his heart, Ai Yunqing still held up the script with a calm face.
"Teacher Qi Ji's main changes are in the latter part!" Lu Liang explained.
Ai Yunqing nodded, then looked in seriously.
Half an hour later, he rubbed his temples and sighed: "Director Lu, I have accepted this role."
Lu Liang was also turning over the script silently. In fact, there was still a hint of shock in his eyes at this moment.
It was hard for him to believe that Qi Ji actually used just one night to raise An Xin's character in the story to several levels.
If in the first half of the script, this character suffered countless darkness, the audience felt more pity for this character and deep despair for the plot itself.
So in the script revised by Qi Ji, countless great things about the character An Xin have been magnified.
And this character has a very strong soul impact.
If An Xin before the change was 90%, then this character now, after the modification, is a perfect score.
When Lu Liang heard Ai Yunqing's words, his eyes were shocked and turned into a smile, saying: "Then it's settled! I can see that you like this character very much now! It's really not in vain.
Our teacher Qi Ji stayed up all night!"
Now, it was Ai Yunqing's turn to be surprised: "What, Teacher Qi Ji stayed up all night? I really deserve to die! Xiao Wang, please refund my ticket for the evening. I want to invite Teacher Qi Ji tonight
Have a meal!"
"But we will have an announcement on the Zhejiang Provincial TV Station tomorrow!"
"I know, tomorrow is just a rehearsal, and it's at night! We can fly there tomorrow morning, it's still too late!"
Ai Yunqing's face was full of excitement.
At his current position, his first priority when choosing a role is that the role has layers and room for his own performance.
And the role of An Xin naturally did it.
Not only does it have room for one's own performance, but this space is also very large.
If you perform well, you might even be able to win the title of TV Emperor!
Qi Ji slept until after four o'clock in the afternoon.
After briefly washing up, Lu Liang led Ai Yunqing over.
Qi Ji shook hands with Ai Yunqing and said, "Best actor! This is an existence that I can only hope to achieve!"
Ai Yunqing scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Director Qi, please stop teasing me! Your acting skills are obvious to all in the industry! But your works are basically commercial movies.
, so the space for you to perform is not that big! But I have talked with the directors who have worked with you, such as Director Lu, Director Qian, and Director Li, and everyone praises your acting skills.
I can’t stop talking! We don’t have you as our best actor. This is a loss for our film industry!”
Lu Liang laughed loudly: "You must be able to flatter me! But I think so too! Qi Ji, you can really try to play some in-depth roles. Anyway, you are not short of money now.
In fact, you can definitely brush up on the awards! When the time comes, show it off and brag about it, wouldn’t it be even more awesome! In fact, let me tell you, if it doesn’t work, you can play the role of Gao Qiqiang!”
When Qi Ji heard this, he waved his hands and said, "Don't flatter me! My appearance is not suitable for the role of Gao Qiqiang!"
The three of them talked and laughed, and then had dinner together.
Even though the role of An Xin has been decided like this.
As for the choice of Gao Qiqiang, the most interesting actor in the drama "Hurry Up", the competition is very fierce.
There are five actors, all of whom Qi Ji and Lu Liang prefer.
And these five actors are also very eager to get this role.
So after many auditions, it took everyone three more days to decide on the actor Gao Qiqiang for the main role.
This actor has also worked with Qi Ji, and he previously played the role of Zhuangzi in Five Thousand Years Later in China.
After the actors were finally decided, Qi Ji and the unsuccessful actors hugged each other one by one, and said with a smile: "Thank you all for coming, I will arrange for your assistant to come over later to pay for the air tickets and accommodation fees."
Please reimburse me! We didn’t succeed in our cooperation this time, but there will be a chance next time, haha!”
An actor in his forties shook hands with Qi Ji seriously and said helplessly: "Director Qi, I have been filming movies seriously for so many years, and now I have an opportunity to cooperate with you.
, I missed this time, I really don’t know when the next time will be, hey!”
The faces of several other people were full of regret.
Although they haven't read the script of "Hurry Up" yet, these people who have auditioned have a rough understanding of the content of the show, and they all know that if they participate in Miracle Entertainment, this show will definitely be another masterpiece.
Now we have reached the audition stage. In fact, as long as we take one step further, we can definitely get this book.
What a pity, what a pity, what a pity.
Qi Ji certainly understands the thoughts of the actors.
But there is no way, there is only one role.
After comprehensive consideration, of course, only the optimal solution can be selected.
So Qi Ji could only smile and say to everyone: "The days are long, the days are long! We at Miracle Entertainment still have many projects! There will always be opportunities for us to cooperate in the future!"
Everyone could only laugh helplessly.
"Boss Qi, then I'll be waiting for good news from your company! Haha!"
"I don't have much work this year. If our company has any projects or roles suitable for me, I hope I can be considered as soon as possible!"
"Mr. Qi, let me take the liberty to ask, is your Miracle Entertainment considering going public? I would like to buy some shares of your company!"
Qi Ji said: "There are no plans to go public for the time being!"
…
After a day's work, Qi Ji dragged his slightly tired body back home.
Today, Teacher Xiuxiu specially cooked four dishes and one soup, which looked delicious.
Qi Ji finished two bowls of rice with satisfaction and praised: "The food cooked by my wife must be delicious!"
Mu Yunxiu served some dishes to his son and daughter respectively, and said, "I reluctantly agree with your compliment!"
Qi Youning's eyebrows curved: "Mom, it's super delicious!"
Qi Ping'an pouted and said, "It's not as delicious as Aunt Liu's!"
Aunt Liu is one of the two aunts in the family.
When Mu Yunxiu heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up. She glanced sideways at Qi Pingan and said, "Qi Pingan, are you going to say it again?"
Qi Ping'an's eyes suddenly widened, and he put the white rice in the bowl into his mouth.
Qi Ji and Qi Youning, father and daughter, looked at each other and said nothing.
In the evening, Qi Ji had a brief video conference with the "Wen Tianxiang" team led by Li Jianguo.
Wen Tianxiang was a politician and writer in the late Southern Song Dynasty, a famous anti-Yuan official, and a national hero. His story may not be as familiar to many people as the story of Yue Fei and Qin Shi, but Wen Tianxiang's song "Crossing the Lingding Ocean",
But many people will memorize it.
Qi Ji's script follows historical facts, but in order to be presented in film and television, there are also some dramatic conflicts.
But overall, like "Yue Fei", it is a movie full of patriotism.
There are quite a few movies of this type in China's film history.
But among all the movies of this type, none has been as successful as "Yue Fei".
Therefore, the leaders above saw the success of the movie "Yue Fei" and asked Qi Ji to take action for the second time.
The overall casting selection for "Wen Tianxiang" was not that complicated, and Li Jianguo spent about a week on it.
Qi Ji is actually quite satisfied with the choice of the protagonist Wen Tianxiang.
"Director Qi, let's make an agreement. The crew will film the rest at the film and television base in Chaoyang City! We have a total of three war scenes, and they can all be filmed together! The only thing I need now is for you to serve some snacks.
Yes, it’s our service department. Our props team is making the armor according to your manuscript. When the time comes, you must check it!" Li Jianguo was at the other end of the video, surrounded by more than a dozen people.
Together, we reported to Qi Ji seriously.
Tangtang was a top domestic director, but in front of Qi Ji, he looked like a junior.
But this scene seemed to everyone present to be a normal thing, and no one thought that the scene in front of them looked strange.
Qi Ji nodded and said: "If the props team feels it's hard to do it, you can take a look at the "Song Dynasty Chapter" of the "Five Thousand Years of China" series I filmed. I supervised all of them.
physical!"
Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Haha, you still remember this? In fact, I have already asked Mr. Meng to move these armors and the like out of Miracle Entertainment's warehouse!"
The filming of "Wen Tianxiang" and "Crazy" quickly got on track.
On the one hand, Qi Ji has started preparations for "The Wandering Earth 2", and on the other hand, he is preparing musical works for the sixth round of the World Singer Contest.
In the last round at the home stadium of Beautiful Country, the local spectators sent him to the last place. In the last three rounds, Qi Ji could not afford to lose anything.
