As soon as Deng Shengxing entered the conference room, he glanced around.
Except for Xu Ji, he was obviously the last one to arrive.
At this time, several other directors had already arrived.
"I don't know."
"But Minister Hu and Mr. Duan haven't come yet, Xu Ji should be with them."
Zang Shengdan said calmly.
After Deng Shengxing found an empty seat and sat down, a half-smiling expression appeared on his face.
At this time, he was basically able to confirm his previous judgment.
That means Xu Ji's process of writing the script may not go smoothly.
I'm probably still "thinking hard" now.
So he was the first to speak:
"Should we remind Director Xu?"
"After all, although it is important for him to write the script, it doesn't take long to have a meeting."
"He doesn't really want to finish writing the script today, does he?"
"This slight delay of two days shouldn't have much impact, right?"
Zang Sheng also nodded after hearing this.
"We really need to ask Director Xu to come with us."
"After all, we all need to carefully discuss our release time."
Deng Shengxing suggested with a joking face:
"Otherwise, since Director Xu can write the script in one day, his movie will definitely be completed the fastest."
"How about letting his movie be released in May or June?"
After hearing this, Wang Huilan, the super first-line director of Tianwu, finally couldn't help it.
He opened his mouth and replied:
"It will be released in May or June. The shooting and post-production will only take more than one month and less than two months."
"Why don't you, Director Deng, try it yourself and see if you can do it?"
Deng Shengxing spread his hands.
"I didn't say I could finish the script in one day."
"Only Director Xu can do this kind of thing."
"After all, you are young and full of energy."
Wang Huilan snorted and stopped talking.
She is not usually the kind of person who is particularly good at talking.
There is no advantage in trying to quarrel with Deng Shengxing.
......
Not long after, Hu Lan and Duan Shengyu walked in.
After Hu Lan sat down, she said directly:
"The specific release time is mainly up to you to discuss among yourself."
"What I'm saying here is just to make sure that it won't interfere with everyone's decision."
After Hu Lan finished speaking, Deng Shengxing couldn't wait to ask:
"Minister Hu, it's okay for us to discuss it. I just don't know where Director Xu is now?"
“There’s no way to be sure if there are not all of us here.”
After Hu Lan heard Deng Shengxing's words, she waved her hand indifferently.
"No need to consider what Director Xu Ji said."
"The release time of his film should not coincide with yours."
Hu Lan's words not only made Deng Shengxing a little confused, but several other people also looked puzzled.
"Minister Hu, what do you mean?"
"Why doesn't Director Xu's film need to agree on a release date with us?"
Hu Lan explained directly at this time:
"If nothing else happens, Director Xu's film should be released around June."
"This is the earliest of the tribute films, so you don't have to worry about your time running into him."
After hearing Hu Lan's words, everyone present had strange expressions, especially Deng Shengxing.
He also said just now that Xu Ji's movie will be released in May or June.
Because I feel that it is a bit of a fantasy to complete the filming and production of a movie in such a short period of time.
But I didn’t expect that he was really right?
As the person in charge of this gift film project, Hu Lan certainly couldn’t have said anything casually.
And the conversation just now didn’t sound like a joke.
It's obviously been decided.
"Minister Hu, Director Xu is now..."
Zang Sheng asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lan answered directly:
"Oh, he has returned to Chengdu."
"As for the script, it was completed in the morning. I reviewed it and thought it was OK, so I asked him to go back and prepare. Then he should be able to start filming."
......
After Hu Lan finished speaking, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Deng Shengxing was the first to react.
Somewhat incredible, he confirmed again:
"You mean, Xu Jita's script has been finalized?"
"And it only took one morning to write it?"
Seeing Hu Lan nodding, Deng Shengxing was completely sluggish at this time.
Originally, when Xu Ji said he wanted to complete the script in one day, he treated the whole process with the mentality of watching a joke.
As a result, is this guy Xu Ji serious?!
This gift film project was only confirmed this morning, but he completed the script within the same day and then turned around and went home?
Who would believe it?
Is it really a gift film project where internet celebrities shoot short videos?
Even if Internet celebrities shoot videos that are slightly longer, it will take at least a few days to write the script, right?
But these words were spoken personally by Hu Lan, the person in charge of the gift film project.
It was obviously impossible for Deng Shengxing to question anything.
......
At the same time, at close to six o'clock in the evening, Xu Ji's plane finally landed.
However, he did not go home immediately, but went to get the cake he had ordered in advance.
He didn't tell Sha Yetong that he would be back today.
According to normal understanding, I probably thought that Xu Ji would not be able to come back to celebrate her birthday with her today.
But when Xu Ji opened the door and entered the house with the cake, he was stunned.
Because it seems that he is not the only one at this time.
You Man, She Yue, Ji Yiyang and everyone from Tongji Entertainment are all here.
In the imagination, the scene of the room being deserted and Sha Yetong sitting there alone did not appear.
"Director Xu is back?"
Everyone pulled Xu Ji into the house.
Sha Yetong was also very surprised to see Xu Ji.
But because there were so many people, I didn’t say much.
Next is a normal birthday party.
Because it was Sha Yetong's birthday, everyone in the company just found the opportunity to toast her crazily.
Of course, Xu Ji next to him just watched silently, but he was not too worried.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After all, he knew Sha Yetong's drinking capacity.
I have never been drunk since I was a child.
The result was just as expected. After more than an hour, Sha Yetong drank a piece of the room alone.
"It won't work, it won't work!"
Several people led by Ji Yiyang begged for mercy, while Xu Ji was extremely happy.
......
After spending some time and sending away all the drunk people, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the sofa.
"Are you okay?"
He glanced at Sha Yetong, who had a red face next to him.
Sha Yetong didn't answer, but turned over and pinned Xu Ji under her.
Then stared at Xu Ji's eyes very seriously.
"You are dishonest!"
"You came back quietly and you didn't tell me!"
Xu Ji replied helplessly: "Isn't this a surprise for you?"
"Fart!"
"You must be punished so that you will remember it for a long time!"
Sha Yetong looked vicious.
But in Xu Ji's opinion, it doesn't have any deterrent effect, but is rather cute.
"Then how do you want to be punished?"
Xu Ji asked with great interest.
"Well..."
"Let me think about it..."
Sha Yetong was indeed drunk and a little drunk, and his brain was not sober at this time.
But before she could think of it, she let out an exclamation.
He said with a panicked look:
"Not this kind of punishment!"
"Let go!"
"Xiao Xuzi, I warn you not to act recklessly."
However, her words could not reach Xu Ji's ears at this time, and he was directly carried into the bedroom by the other party.
......
The next day, Xu Ji woke up and started cleaning up the messy house.
Sha Yetong continued to sleep, and Xu Ji had no intention of disturbing him.
After cleaning the house, I went out.
Because he was suddenly called to the capital by Hu Lan this time and took over the task of making a gift film, he didn't have to worry about what to shoot in the next movie.
Of course, although it is a gift film, it does not mean that Xu Ji does not intend to take it seriously.
After all, "Operation Red Sea" itself is actually a good movie, except for some of the attributes needed for a gift film.
Both the plot and the action are of a rare level of excellence.
Hu Lan also gave Xu Ji a lot of autonomy.
Including the selection of the entire crew, the decisions of all actors, etc., his choices will not be interfered with.
But it is a pity that since it is a gift film after all, the investment share of the film will obviously not be released.
In other words, Tongji Entertainment cannot join the investment.
The budget of the entire movie is actually not low, but Hu Lan still directly agreed to it.
In addition to the fact that there is no shortage of money, it can also be seen that the above-mentioned attaches great importance to this project.
What Xu Ji urgently needs to solve now is actually the actor's problem.
The main actors in "Operation Red Sea" are not very old, so the official actors are not good choices.
】
Ji Yiyang and Ran Bai can be used, but Ran Bai has to continue to star in the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and Ji Yiyang Xu Ji is also hesitant to let him play the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"
.
In short, Tongji Entertainment seems to have insufficient schedules for its actors.
This does require Xu Ji to make some choices on his own.
......
Chen Kang has been relaxing at his home in Beijing for some time.
After he finished playing "My Captain, My Troupe", he did not take on any more roles.
Originally, when Song Lili was casting for "Bright Sword", he wanted to find him as the protagonist.
After reading the script, Chen Kang really liked the show.
However, he knew clearly that the role of Li Yunlong was indeed not suitable for him.
In the end, he reluctantly gave up.
He was afraid that he might not perform well and ruin the show.
However, he still selflessly recommended an official actor to Song Lili, named Jiang Yaorong.
It goes without saying that as an official actor, his acting skills are natural, but more importantly, his image is more in line with the role of Li Yunlong.
In the end, the guy was very happy.
After Jiang Yaorong finished his audition, he immediately finalized the deal. Apart from sending a message of thanks, he really didn't contact him again.
I obviously went to him several times to beg him to play this role.
As a result, I found someone more suitable now, so I dumped him directly.
It doesn’t matter, after all, people recommended it themselves.
But don’t ask him if he has any plans to consider playing other roles?!
But it’s not Chen Kang’s fault.
Since he started cooperating with Xu Ji, his popularity has become higher and higher.
Nowadays, he is cast in many dramas, and they are basically all male lead or dual-male dramas.
Everyone agrees that he will not appear in supporting roles with few roles.
This is the impact of celebrity status as actors become more famous.
Many actors say they have no scenes to shoot, but they are not really picky.
But it’s true that many supporting actors won’t look for them, and for some of the protagonist’s roles, either the showrunners don’t like the actors, or the actors don’t like the show.
The situation is very embarrassing.
Of course, Chen Kang is in a good mood these days.
Because he received the news that Xu Ji had accepted the official gift film project.
In other words, Xu Ji will probably make a new movie next.
Thinking that he was not invited to Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs" last time, he felt a little upset.
Naturally, he would not let go of such an opportunity this time, so he took the initiative.
Then I didn’t even think about getting ready to meet Xu Ji.
Finally, he met Duan Shengyu, who told him that Xu Ji had returned to Chengdu.
It’s better to come back on the same day.
But even though I didn’t see any traces, it wasn’t like my trip was in vain.
From Duan Shengyu, he got the script of Xu Jixin's movie "Operation Red Sea".
After reading it, I took out my mobile phone and bought a plane ticket to Chengdu.
Then that afternoon, with Xu Ji's shocked expression, Chen Kang flashed directly to the door of the office of Tongji Entertainment, Xu Ji's boss.
......
"Brother Kang, why are you here?"
Xu Ji was a little surprised when he saw Chen Kang.
Chen Kang had a look of resentment on his face.
"Don't you know why I came to Chengdu, Director Xu?"
Xu Ji quickly spoke:
"Don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will be misunderstood!"
Chen Kang was too lazy to joke with Xu Ji, and he didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"I've read the script of your new movie and I want to audition for it!"
"I missed "Infernal Affairs" last time, and I don't want to this time!"
Chen Kang had a determined expression on his face.
But at this time, Xu Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard his words.
"Didn't you receive the message I sent you?"
Chen Kang was stunned for a moment.
"What news."
He took out his mobile phone and then remembered that he had subconsciously set it to flight mode when he got on the plane.
Then when I arrived in Chengdu, I just wanted to see Xu Ji as soon as possible, so I took a taxi and came here.
This is not the first time for him to come to Tongji Entertainment’s studio, so he is naturally familiar with it.
Hearing Xu Ji's words at this time, he subconsciously connected his mobile phone to the Internet, and then saw the message sent by Xu Ji shortly after he boarded the plane from the capital.
There is also an electronic version of the script.
"I originally planned to find you."
"I didn't expect you to come here by yourself."
"We really have a good rapport."
Xu Ji said.
Chen Kang has a black line on his face.
It took him a long time to arrive in such a hurry, but Xu Ji had already decided to find him.
Although it was just in time to try out the show, it was not a wasted trip.
But when I was on the plane, I felt anxious that someone might steal my role.
Still worried about what to do if Xu Ji rejects him.
