"I can guarantee this. Ms. Lan is also a senior investor. She should understand it and doesn't need any special explanation from me. I think she also kindly reminds you that she probably knew you didn't know, so she told you.
."
Right!
This is a logical question. If Ms. Lan really thought that Lao Zhang was informed, her tone at that time would not have been inquiring.
They should call for an investigation and ask Lao Zhang to explain the situation directly.
"So, Mr. Zhang, this matter is really not as serious as you think. It's just a trivial matter, so you don't have to worry."
"When I have time, I will call and explain. Don't worry."
Wu Di raised his butt and left. Only then did Lao Zhang realize that this guy wanted to run away without even saying a single key question.
How can that work?
He hurriedly caught up with him, and his strength made Wu Di startled.
Good guy!
This skill is quite neat.
As long as we keep this state of affairs, if we make any comedy or suspense film, it will be a martial arts film, and the director himself will be the leading actor.
What kind of martial arts senior, at the level of a grand master?
No problem at all.
"no!"
"You can't leave yet." This time, Lao Zhang got smart and caught Wu Di: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Hey, it should have been like this a long time ago.
Wu Di stopped with a smile, and then Lao Zhang said: "Where's the money?"
"This is also very important."
"Since Ms. Lan called us, she must have known that something unexpected happened before the filming started. Xiao Wu, please go and discuss with Ms. Lan. Can you add some additional investment?"
"Lao Zhang, why bother?" Wu Di looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of kindness, but Lao Zhang was confused by him.
"What else can you do?"
"Easier?"
You don’t want me, old man, to pay for it, do you?
I have no money, I am very poor.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you confused? Didn't you spend all the initial investment that Ms. Lan gave you?"
Wu Di asked this question, partly as a move and partly as a test.
Lao Zhang quickly denied: "That's not possible. No matter how much I waste, I won't spend it so fast. Ms. Lan has already paid one-third of her investment into her account."
"Isn't this the end?" Wu Di shook his head and pointed: "Since the funds have not been spent yet, why are you so anxious to continue to invest more? Can't you make good use of what you have on hand first?"
"As for the final cost overrun, that will happen in the future. No matter how fast you are, Mr. Zhang, it will take at least two months to shoot a movie. If you have any questions, let's talk about it next month."
"Let's finish this month first."
Lao Zhang blinked his eyes and had an epiphany: "That's right!"
"Such a great idea, why didn't I think of it?"
"Isn't this all solved?" Lao Zhang laughed loudly and left talking to himself. Wu Di watched his back.
It wasn't until he completely disappeared from sight that he complained: Yes, of course you didn't expect it. You were just asking for money, so you forgot that you could save money.
Although Hao's relationship with Ms. Lan was average, Wu Di's contact with her had not been broken. Especially after the last incident of funds being embezzled, Wu Di became more cautious.
Wu Di knows the total investment for this film and how much Ms. Lan has spent.
Therefore, it can be judged that the money in Lao Zhang's hands is enough for him to use for a period of time, and overspending is also expected.
This is like buying a new home. Buying a house costs a lot, and someone only has enough money to pay for the down payment.
Then, after he purchases the house and obtains the real estate certificate, he can be said to be the owner of the house.
But, can you say that to settle into a new home, just having a house is enough?
You still have a lot to do, a lot.
You have to buy furniture and electrical appliances, you can’t ignore basic daily necessities, and you even need to decorate them. These costs are quite high.
Therefore, as a person who has made a down payment and is left empty-handed, it is foreseeable that he will definitely overspend in the near future.
But now, the procedures are still being processed, and the real estate certificate has not yet been handed over to him, so the purchase of these living equipment has not yet begun.
You can't say that after buying these things, I will overspend and be in debt. So, now I am still in debt.
cannot.
After all, you haven't spent the money yet, so you can't just accept a debt you haven't owed yet.
This is the same truth. Did Lao Zhang really forget how much money he had in his hand?
impossible.
There are only two possibilities. If we put it at best, it means that Lao Zhang is not a person who manages money, and he has no idea how much money Lao Li still has.
Of course, this is just a beautiful idea. In fact, human nature is selfish, and Lao Zhang is naturally not immune to this.
Doesn't he wish there were more funds to make movies?
Doesn’t he want investors to be more generous?
In other words, doesn't he want to get more money from Ms. Lan?
Of course he does too! There is no doubt about that!
It's just that Lao Zhang is still a decent person after all, or in other words, he is more cunning. He obviously wants money, but he still cares about him, hoping that others will automatically give the money as soon as they hear his name as Director Zhang.
Put it all into his little pocket.
Regarding his thoughts, Wu Di could only give him a few words. Don't think about asking for more money before the money is spent.
Father-in-law!
Because the scene needs to be rebuilt, the originally planned opening ceremony can only be postponed slightly, and the competition among the several main actors has also entered a fierce level.
In Lao Zhang's movie, because it focuses on suspense comedy, in fact, there are not many actors to choose from on the market, especially from the younger generation.
You have to know that what he needs is a serious professional comedian who can perform large comedy sequences.
For example, some actors who are only suitable for playing urban light comedies are not suitable, although there are more actors like that.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As you can imagine, Lao Zhang doesn't have many choices.
They need to be relatively young and have sufficient comedy talent. Moreover, there is not just one such person, but several. If you think about it, this level of difficulty is not the least bit difficult.
As for Wu Di, of course, as the father-in-law, Lao Zhang certainly did not forget to arrange a role for him, and it must be a role that has a bit of drama and is relatively important.
He already has a plan in mind, but whether it can succeed in the end still needs to be tested in practice.
The main reason is that Wu Di has participated in too few works, and it is impossible to tell how good his acting skills are. You have to know that although his performance in "Skin Change" was not bad, the performance in that movie was not very difficult.
For a handsome guy like Wu Di, it's basically fine as long as he plays his true self.
However, comedy is different.
It needs that kind of complete naturalness. First of all, in terms of appearance, Wu Di is not very suitable. Why?
Isn't he too handsome?
For such a handsome person, the audience, especially the female audience, will immediately become obsessed with him when they see him. How can he be so funny?
Moreover, it is really difficult for Dashuaibi to let go of his burdens and be funny with all his heart.
One is that the image does not meet the requirements. Generally speaking, professional comedians also have certain appearance requirements.
For example, short, ugly, weak, or some other characteristics. In short, as long as this person stands on the stage, he can naturally make people laugh, and even before he starts performing, it is enough for people to understand, oh
, he is a comedian.
The appearance characteristics are so obvious, which can be regarded as a professional requirement, but Wu Di obviously does not meet this appearance characteristics.
Secondly, although Wu Di is usually good-tempered and likes to joke, you have to know that comedy performance is also a specialized art, and not everyone can do it.
Not to mention that your daily life is humorous enough and can be perfectly expressed in movies and TV dramas.
In fact, it is very difficult to achieve this.
Many people have this misunderstanding, and even this misunderstanding also appears in the actors themselves. They often think that comedians must also be full of joy in life.
Well, I am very humorous and talkative in life, and I can also act in comedy movies and even sketches.
This is a complete misunderstanding.
In fact, many professional comedians are relatively taciturn in life and do not restrain themselves from talking or laughing at all.
However, those vivid and funny characters in life often fail to express their humor and wisdom well in movies and TV dramas.
It may even give the audience the feeling that this person is just entertaining himself. Does he really know how to make a comedy movie?
This is very embarrassing.
Because many actors resolutely join the ranks of filming comedy movies, it is also because of the audience's help.
To be honest, everyone wants to challenge comedy movies naturally because comedy movies tend to have higher box office and receive wide acclaim from audiences, making them the type of movie they are most interested in.
Those bad comedies can achieve good box office results. Many people are also thinking, as long as I can make a high-quality comedy film, won't I make a lot of money?
Yes.
Many people hold this idea in mind and rush into the sea of comedy films to swim.
However, it is only the very few among the few that succeed.
Except for those whose own conditions are more suitable for comedy movies, those tough guys who are not so qualified often fail to succeed, and even bring down their good reputation.
But if they can't make a satisfying comedy, why do they keep trying again and again?
There must be a reason. As for being overconfident, I believe every successful actor has this quality.
If he is not confident enough and does not appreciate himself enough, he will not be able to fully express himself in front of the camera.
After all, there is still an inseparable relationship with the audience.
For those actors who appear to be taciturn and melancholic at first glance, probably no one would think that they have the talent to handle comedy movies.
On the contrary, many actors are also deceived by movie fans. They usually don't do much. They just shoot some funny short videos or make up some jokes. They are not necessarily all from their own ideas. They just put them on the Internet.
Guy, this is incredible.
He immediately attracted enthusiastic feedback from fans. Everyone said that my brother is really a good joker and he is simply the second celebrity.
Human beings are all ordinary creatures who can withstand criticism and praise, but everything has a degree.
Once this degree is exceeded, it will be very troublesome.
You see, since fans think that I have a talent for humor, I am such a funny person, and my acting skills are so good, why can't I dabble in comedy films?
Of course I can!
So, we started filming, acting, and even directing.
The results are often less than satisfactory.
However, neither the actor himself nor the fans who had previously enthusiastically praised him would admit that such an ending had something to do with them.
Actors will not admit that they have shortcomings in ability, and fans, not only will not admit their previous instigation, they will even blame the actors.
what's wrong with you?
How can a good script be filmed like this?
If you don't have diamonds, don't do the porcelain work. This is your own responsibility and has nothing to do with us.
Therefore, the only ones who suffer are the actors who listen to the deception.
Those who are smarter and more rational will naturally know that one will gain wisdom after suffering a setback. This matter cannot continue like this and the ship must be turned around.
But some people are not so wise.
hehe!
You say I can’t do it, but I’m determined to show you what I can do. I won’t stop until I make a comedy movie that convinces you.
So, over and over again, the cycle continues, and you fall into the trap.
Fortunately, Wu Di is a newcomer, so he doesn't have such troubles yet.
For him, he didn't have much interest in comedy movies. He just wanted to participate in a movie of Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang happened to be filming such a movie, so he happened to do it.
Totally a coincidence.
However, Lao Zhang is quite worried.
Can someone really do it?
Lao Zhang doesn't have clairvoyance and he can't tell fortunes. How could he know that Wu Di has the actor system?
He just knew that shooting comedy movies was very difficult, and Wu Di had no relevant experience in this area. It was a bit suspenseful to have to star in such a blockbuster and play the main role right from the start.
However, there is no way.
After all, I had already agreed and I was a prospective son-in-law, so I couldn't go back on it. I could only bite the bullet and watch it.
Although the press conference was postponed, the auditions were still going on in an orderly manner, and batches of actors came to the hotel one after another.
Just to audition and see if I have a chance.
No matter whether it is a suitable role for me or not, I still want to challenge it.
What if, that is, what if it happens?
You see, there are many variables in making a movie. What if the actors who have been booked cannot come? Or maybe his performance is better, and Zhang just decides to replace him?
Besides, even if you can't choose, it's still worth a visit, at least you can brush your face in front of a famous director.
