As for Lao Zhang's new movie, this is another thorny issue. We have already started to raise funds, so it is conceivable that filming should start at least in the first half of next year.
What role did Lao Zhang arrange for him?
Only he who holds the script knows this, no one else can guess it.
Lao Zhang's confidentiality work is simply top-notch. Even his own family members don't know what the content of his script is.
You know, this script has been written for several months, but it hasn't been revealed at all. I don't know whether I should say that Lao Zhang is tight-lipped, or that others respect him enough.
If there are only a few scenes, it would be easy to say. Even if Lao Zhang delays filming, half a month will still be enough.
There is also Xiao Qi's movie here, which I haven't said yet, but must be filmed. Wu Di also likes the script, and it suits his current position.
And there will be a feature-length TV series later in the year, and that’s what Jianbing promised him, and he’s still going to be the main character!
Since it is a long-running TV series and it is the protagonist, it can be imagined that there must be quite a lot of scenes, so the filming time will be relatively long.
A movie plus a feature-length TV series, what about Lao Zhang?
Where will Lao Zhang’s movies be placed?
This is very contradictory.
No matter who it is, in the current domestic entertainment circle, generally anyone who receives an invitation from Lao Zhang will not refuse.
Even for a small character, people who want to get it can probably line up for a mile.
Of course the same goes for Wu Di. He will not give up on Lao Zhang's movie. What's more, Ms. Lan still has to pay for it, so he has no reason to give up.
Not only does he not plan to give up, he also plans to fight for an important role!
So, a contradiction arises. The shooting time of these two works should be about the same. They could have been arranged and interspersed perfectly. Unfortunately, now another old shot has been inserted.
This is a bit troublesome.
You can't shirk Lao Zhang's movie, and more importantly, you can't figure out his start time at all. For Wu Di, who hasn't signed a contract yet, it's even more confusing.
Is it to reserve time for Lao Zhang’s movie?
Or should I cancel one and finish filming "Labyrinth" first?
The opportunity given by Lao Zhang is very precious, and the maze must be photographed. So, what are the choices?
The answer seems to be ready!
But at this moment, the phone suddenly rang again. Wu Di looked at the screen and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening!
Calling so late?
What's so important?
What surprised Wu Di even more than the events behind it was the person who initiated the call.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry for bothering you so late."
Before Wu Di could open his mouth, Jianbing's message came out. What Wu Di could say, of course, it's not too late, not too late, and I won't bother you at all.
Of course, for actors, this time is indeed not too late, it is quite normal.
"If you have anything, just say it."
Jianbing hesitated for a moment, and Wu Di felt that his guess was correct. As the saying goes, it must be a very troublesome matter for Uncle Jianbing to call him so late.
"That's it," Jianbing finally spoke again, and Wu Di quickly cheered up and listened carefully.
"It was when I was at Hengdian that I said I would take on a TV series after the New Year. Do you still remember it?"
"Remember, of course I remember." I was still thinking about it just now!
"What, Brother Pancake, is there something wrong?"
"It's true," Jianbing said in a hesitant tone, and Wu Di could imagine how embarrassed he looked when he said these words.
"But it's not a big problem. The character is still there, so don't worry."
Oh, the character is still there, so I’m really worried.
In fact, so far, this so-called TV series project is still in the contact and negotiation stage, and there has been no substantial progress at all.
Wu Di didn't go to the audition, and he didn't even meet the director. All the news came from Jianbing.
Whether the director should use Wu Di or not, even Wu Di himself couldn't tell.
"It's okay. If you have any questions, just ask. I don't care."
Since the young people have already said this, the pancakes should be more enjoyable, otherwise, what is the point of disturbing others so late?
Hesitant and boring.
"Because the investment in that TV series is relatively large, there are some problems with the intermediate funds. It may not be possible to start filming in time after the year."
"It will probably be postponed, at least until the summer."
summer?
That's great!
Isn’t this all wrong?
Wu Di wanted to say this, but Jianbing's tone seemed regretful, and he couldn't tell the truth.
So he also pretended to be regretful: "That's it, it's okay, that's what I think. Anyway, the specific role hasn't been decided yet. From my side, as long as it's Uncle Pancake, I will definitely go for the audition."
Yes, but whether the director will agree to it and what role he can assign me will have to wait until filming officially starts."
"So, when it comes to the schedule, we just need to make a rough idea, and we can discuss it in detail when filming starts."
Pancake hummed several times in succession, very much in agreement.
Wu Di's words were so complete that he couldn't find any problems at all, so he was naturally happy.
Moreover, the original intention of making this call was that Jianbing was a little apologetic. After all, he was the one who got the job for Wu Di and promised the main role.
As a result, not only was it uncertain whether he would be able to play the leading role, but he was even unable to start filming as scheduled, which naturally made him feel uncomfortable.
The more polite Wu Di was, the more embarrassed Jianbing felt, and even wanted to give up his role to him!
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, don't you still have two movies on hand? Finish these two works first. I will notify you as soon as I have news."
Wu Di naturally expressed his gratitude to Jianbing for being so attentive, and had nothing to say. He originally wanted to hang up the phone, end the battle before twelve o'clock, and go to see Duke Zhou, but he heard Jianbing's voice coming up again on the other end of the phone:
"It's easy for you to handle, but it's hard for me to handle."
"Brother, what did you say?" Wu Di quickly asked, and Brother Jianbing also had questions?
See if he can solve it?
Pancake sighed: "It's a long story!"
"Originally, I thought that the filming of this TV series would start after the year. Since I am the lead actor, I will have a lot of roles, so I set aside time for it."
"During this period, I rejected all the scripts that came to me because the director is very familiar with me and I still trust him very much."
"I didn't expect that the filming would be postponed. As a result, my schedule would be free, and I might not be able to work for half a year."
If you think about it carefully, isn't that what it's all about?
It's the end of November now, and it will be December soon. The TV series was originally scheduled to start filming at the end of January, so it will take about three months to film. All in all, it will take half a year, right?
"I still need to find another script, so I don't have anything to do in the middle."
"Don't you have a suitable script ready-made?"
This shouldn't be the case, Jianbing is a big name, even in 2009, and there will definitely be no shortage of scripts.
It's just that he doesn't have enough time to see it, or he doesn't have enough time.
Jianbing rejected Wu Di's idea: "It's true that there hasn't been one recently. I had one that I liked before, but when I thought the shooting dates would overlap, I turned it down. Now that I think about it, it's a pity."
"So, Uncle Pancake doesn't have a script in his hands right now?"
"yes."
Wu Di suddenly had an idea and had an idea.
"Brother Jianbing, I do have a good project here, and it will start filming after the year. Maybe I can find a role for you."
Jianbing smiled: "You kid, you are talking nonsense again. I have been working for so many years, and I still need you to help me find a project?"
"I don't mean to look down on my brother. Anyway, it hasn't been decided yet. I will rest for a while. If it is decided, I will contact you again."
"What kind of project is it and it's still so unclear?" If Wu Di had told the truth directly, Jianbing might not be interested in it.
He has a wide network of contacts in the industry, has deep qualifications, and is well-known for his acting skills. It is not easy to find a suitable script.
It's just a bit awkward in terms of timing.
However, when Wu Di said this, his interest in pancakes was aroused.
I had to drag Wu Di to ask clearly.
"Brother, please don't worry about this. It's a big project anyway, and it's definitely suitable for you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"So confident?"
"All right!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news. I'll rest for a while and go fishing by the way."
fishing?
This is really a hobby only for men.
However, it’s almost winter, can I still fish?
On the other side of the receiver, Jianbing put down the phone with satisfaction. Just after closing the phone screen and making a clicking sound, Jianbing's eyes suddenly lit up.
The light in those eyes was brighter than the moonlight.
What film and television drama resources can Wu Di find?
Or should I recommend pancakes to him, which look like pancakes?
What kind of work would that be?
So that Wu Di, who is just starting out, is so confident that he will definitely like it?
It feels like it will be the great director...
That really needs to be considered.
…………
Is this... solved?
So easy?
There will no longer be any schedule conflicts when accepting a movie!
Disappear in an instant!
Everything happened so suddenly and so easily. Since there is no obstacle from the TV series, let’s let the wheels of the new drama start turning tomorrow!
The first target—Lan Masanti!
Neither Xiao Qi nor Lao Zhang, but actually her own mother?
Boss Wu's methods are really puzzling, but only Wu Di knows that in order to come up with high-quality products and star in high-quality works, Ms. Lan's role cannot be ignored.
Without Ms. Lan’s support, would there still be these works?
However, the situation is different now. I met Ms. Lan several times, either by appointment outside or by Ms. Lan taking the initiative to visit.
As time went by, Wu Di also felt a little inappropriate.
He weighed his position repeatedly. What would he do if it were his biological son?
And what would he do if he was just a polite partner?
After thinking about it, I realized that such thinking is not necessary at all. If Wu Di is not Ms. Lan's biological son, and if it is not to support him, why would Ms. Lan follow in his footsteps, film after film?
investment?
You know, so far, these investments have not seen results yet!
It can be seen that these things cannot stand the rigorous investigation of right and wrong.
What are you waiting for?
It’s better to come to your door!
…………
The place where a big boss like Ms. Lan, the president of a multinational company, lives temporarily is of an extraordinary quality. Wu Di has been prepared for this for a long time. However, although Ms. Lan's residence is high-end, Wu Di has never been there before.
Even if he already has the address.
So, when the front desk told her that there was a visitor downstairs named Wu Di, Ms. Lan immediately ran downstairs excitedly.
Wu Di was not even given a chance to take the initiative to go upstairs.
"How did you come?"
"You don't need to contact me in advance so I can prepare."
Every time Ms. Lan sees Wu Di, she is always very enthusiastic and a little at a loss. This is of course due to some strange and guilty mood.
And Wu Di, who was at a loss at the beginning, gradually became able to cope with it.
The two of them first got on the elevator together and returned to Ms. Lan's suite. After sitting down, Wu Di brought the topic back: "I said I wanted to give you a surprise, but you probably didn't believe it either!"
"There is nothing to believe." Ms. Lan handed him a bottle of drink and said naturally: "You are my son, and I generally believe everything you say."
"What does it mean to "roughly" believe?"
"Is there still a time when you don't believe it?" Wu Di was suddenly very interested in Lan Masanti's way of making sentences. Lan Masanti smiled calmly: "This means that as your mother, I listen to what you say.
After that, I will choose to believe it as soon as possible. This is the basis. If I find any clues in the future, I can also doubt it."
"I am not a mother who blindly trusts her children and pampers her endlessly. I think you must understand this." At this point, Lanmasanti suddenly looked at Wu Di with a look that you know, and Wu Di thought for a moment.
I thought and understood her intention.
Yes, if she was an irrational mother who doted on her children endlessly, she would not have left her and gone to country A.
It seems that she is still very self-aware.
Wu Di coughed lightly: "We talked about it yesterday. Lao Zhang wants you to invest in a new movie. You have to think carefully and don't agree to everything."
"It's always uneconomical for Lao Zhang to make movies. Don't accept everything because of me. If the budget goes over budget, you won't be happy either."
When Wu Di said this, Ms. Lan always maintained a warm smile. She was happy enough to be able to talk to her son at such a close distance. What's more, what Wu Di said now was all for her sake.
Ramashanti had no chance of being angry, and could only smile.
"You underestimate me too much. I won't be worn down by just one or two movies."
"Besides, although I may be the main investor, if Lao Zhang's movie is to come up with a finished product, it will definitely require joint investment from several companies, so it's impossible for me to do it alone."
