Chapter 843 Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang (4000+ chapters~)
"Forget it, you should go find Wang Shuo about this!"
At Shunfeng Restaurant, Wu Jianye sat together with Jiang Qian and smiled as he rejected Jiang Qian's invitation. The character Jiang Qian invited was actually the little bastard played by Wang Shuo in the play.
When Jiang Xiang thought about it, it was really good.
"That's a good suggestion. I'll call him tomorrow!" Jiang Xun said naturally, not thinking there was anything wrong with changing her mind like this.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat seafood!"
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Cantonese restaurants opened all over the country, and every restaurant advertised "fresh seafood". Eating Cantonese food suddenly became a fashionable way of life.
Sijiucheng is no exception.
Advertisements of "fresh seafood shipped by air every day" can be seen everywhere, and restaurants seem to have built big fish tanks overnight. In pursuit of the new era of fresh ingredients, people are also busy going to Cantonese restaurants to taste the "freshness" '.
Someone once described the lively scene of eating Cantonese food as being reminiscent of the scene of "Nan Batian" celebrating his birthday in the ballet "The Red Army", which is a bit funny and a bit humorous.
But no matter what, Cantonese food as a fashionable consumption still provokes those Yanjing bosses who care about face and show off their pomp and splendor to taste "Aolong" (Australian lobster), "Aodai" (Australian scallops), and "Mo Bao" (Mexican abalone), "Thaiyan" (Thailand bird's nest), "horse fin" (Madagascar shark fin), etc. are considered honorable. Maybe this way, you can not only have a good meal, but also have more talk, why not?
Just drinking a cup of soup per person is more expensive than ordering a table full of Sichuan food. It’s a knife-edge. If the host doesn’t bring his money, he has to turn over the first page when looking at the menu. Order from page 22.
Jiang Xian and others also heard that Wu Jianye was treating him to dinner that night, so they directly chose Shunfeng Restaurant, which is now the most popular restaurant in Yanjing. There are also Cantonese restaurants such as Xiangjiang Food City and Dashanyuan that are as famous as him.
After Jiang Xi solved the problem, she had a great appetite. She was very happy to eat with the crew. "If you ask me, Lao Wu, you have to come to our crew to visit us when you are fine. Anyway, this movie is Although it cannot be compared with your film investment, it is still a large investment in China!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "If I go to your place a few more times, the money I spend taking you out to eat will almost catch up with the money I invest!"
Although I am joking, you can still see how much it costs to eat a seafood meal in Yanjing at this time!
Jiang Xi smiled and didn't answer!
Wu Jianye didn't pay attention and continued: "What has Jiang Kui done recently?"
Jiang Xiu shook her head and said: "I'm not sure. I haven't seen him since the filming of the movie started. By the way, when will the filming of your movie start?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Based on the current situation, it will probably have to wait until next year. Now when my martial arts instructor is ready, I will arrange for Jiang Kui and the others to receive several months of martial arts training! "
Tan Yang's injury will soon be healed, and now Wu Jianye has converted a part of the back of the Zhuxinzhuang campus into a training room to provide martial arts training for the new movie's staff.
Jiang Xiu smiled and said: "During the Chinese New Year, I saw Jiang Xiu. She has been reading old mythological novels recently. She said she was looking for a feeling!"
Wu Jianye said: "It's good. Although this is an original mythical story, it is more based on people. In the movie, gods are never superior, but they become more powerful than ordinary people, so
They became gods!"
Jiang Xi: "This is a good point of view, and it will be somewhat novel."
Wu Jianye chuckled. This kind of argument was still very novel in this era, but if it were put into later generations, it would be a bit unpopular.
After eating with Jiang Xi and others, Wu Jianye returned directly to Xishan Villa.
.......
In the evening, after the family had finished dinner, the TV was played by Yanjing TV, and the TV series played was "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" starring Li Baotian, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Deng Jie and others!
This TV series is broadcast on Yanjing TV station after "Enjoyment".
Both TV series caused a huge sensation in China.
The broadcast of "Enjoyable" has made Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Shan the idols of today's young people. Although Wang Zhiwen's previous appearance in "New Dragon Inn" was just a guest appearance, it was more attractive, so they made him
He was labeled as a professional eunuch, and now it's better. With the movie "Enjoyable", Wang Zhiwen completely surrendered this label.
Became the idol of young people.
His partnership with Jiang Shan also became an on-screen couple in domestic TV dramas, and the two later collaborated many times.
The broadcast of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" also caused a huge sensation. At the same time, because of its subject matter, it also attracted criticism from many historians, who believed that this TV series was purely nonsense and tampering.
history!
Tangting Culture specially made a statement about this. This is a joke and not real history!
However, this still cannot dispel the dissatisfaction of some experts, who still condemned this method in newspapers as wrong.
Later, Tangting Culture did not get used to them and directly said: "Why is it that Wanwan's TV series "A Play on Qianlong" can be accepted by you, but our domestic drama about historical dramas cannot?"
The two sides were at loggerheads for a while.
However, it is precisely because of such quarrels that the domestic ratings of the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo" have been rising steadily.
It became the TV series with the highest ratings during the same time period.
Wu Jianye watched the performances of Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang on TV and made a decision in his heart.
The next day, Wu Jianye met these two people at Tangting Culture.
"How about you two, how does it feel to be a big star?" Wu Jianye joked with them.
With the broadcast of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", several of the leading actors in the drama have become the most popular TV drama stars, especially Zhang Guoli, who was already famous because of his previous participation in Wu Jianye's movie "The World of Chu Xing"
His popularity in China remains high, and now he stars in the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", which has made his popularity soar.
This also allowed him to completely abandon the label of being a soft ricer.
In the past, whether Zhang Guoli was willing to admit it or not, Zhang Guoli was not as popular as Deng Jie in China. After all, the influence of "A Dream of Red Mansions" was too great, and Wang Xifeng, played by Deng Jie, was very outstanding.
Role.
In fact, in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, Deng Jie was still more famous than Zhang Guoli in the hearts of some old people!
This is the power of classics.
Zhang Guoli had a proud look on his face and said with a smile: "It just feels a little less convenient than before!"
Wang Gang said smoothly: "You are getting an advantage and yet you act like a good boy!"
Seeing the two people bickering, Wu Jianye smiled. At this time, Wang Gang and Zhang Guoli were just monarchs and ministers, unlike later when they became a pair of enemies after the release of "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan"!
"What are your plans next?" Wu Jianye asked.
Zhang Guoli took the lead and said: "We are already talking about several TV series, and I am reading the script now!"
With the success of "The World of Chu Xing" and "Prime Minister Liu Luo Guo", Zhang Guoli has received more film and television invitations.
However, in movies, there are still more supporting roles, while in TV dramas, they are all protagonists!
Wang Gang waited for Zhang Guoli to finish speaking before he said: "CCTV sent me an invitation to be the host!"
Wang Gang has always had a very good relationship with CCTV. He once hosted programs such as the Spring Festival Gala, so you can imagine that his relationship with CCTV will have to wait until the hammer appears.
"You two also know that I will prepare a new movie next. There are two characters in it that need to be played by someone. Your two images are very suitable..." They both looked excited.
With an expression on his face, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "But one thing, you two need to know that this movie won't be shot until next year, and you will have to receive some martial arts instruction in the second half of this year."
As supporting roles, the two of them don't have many action scenes. In addition, due to their status in the movie, they won't use too many actions, so their martial arts guidance will not be the same as that of the leading actors.
!
Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang almost didn't hesitate. Wu Jianye didn't even care about the script and directly agreed, "No problem, we can sign the contract at any time!"
Although both of them are actors in Tangting Culture, when filming a certain TV series or movie, they will sign a separate contract.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "That's good. In the next period of time, you should study more about the story of the teacher in the ancient private school. In the movie, your role is similar to that of the teacher!"
Zhang Guoli said: "Okay, I will look for information on this when I go back!"
Wu Jianye said to Wang Gang again: "Wang Gang, your role is much simpler. It is your old profession, a storyteller, but it must also have an ancient charm!"
Wang Gang smiled confidently and said: "Director Wu, don't worry, I'm still a little worried about other things, but in this aspect, I'm still a little confident!"
Wu Jianye smiled, it was precisely because of his peace of mind that Wu Jianye asked Wang Gang to play this role!
Their contract is the same as Jiang Wenli's, also a five-movie contract!
However, the specific content of the contract will be explained to them by the legal affairs department of Tangting Culture, and they will also be given time to find a lawyer.
After securing the two of them, the confirmed number of crew members for the new movie has reached seven!
By the end of May, Zhao Fei finally came back after a long journey.
Looking at Zhao Fei, who had lost a lot of weight, Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Zhao Fei sat slumped on the sofa and said feebly: "You have to thank me properly this time no matter what, I almost broke my legs in the past three months!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's necessary. Tell me what reward you want!"
When Zhao Fei heard what Wu Jianye said, he immediately became energetic and stopped slumping on the sofa. He sat up straight and said, "This is what you said!"
Wu Jianye nodded: "I said so!"
Zhao Fei thought for a moment and said: "I have to think about this carefully. I will definitely make you bleed this time!"
Wu Jianye said nonchalantly: "Okay, just mention it when the time comes!"
After the two of them laughed and joked for a while, Zhao Fei took out a stack of photos from his bag and said, "These are all photos of the shooting locations. You should choose carefully!"
Wu Jianye took the photos from Zhao Fei's hands, most of them were photos of strange mountains and mountains, including Mount Huashan, Mount Huang, Mount Tai, etc., as well as Jiuzhaigou Valley, Zhangjiajie, and in fact, even desert locations!
Wu Jianye looked at them carefully one by one, and Zhao Fei on the side also said: "Although I have brought all the photos, you still have to see some of them!"
Wu Jianye said without raising his head: "That's for sure. Once the cast is finalized in June, we will go on an on-site inspection!"
Wu Jianye's next task is to determine the candidates for the new movie, especially the male and female leading actors, which is the top priority of the entire movie.
As I have said before, this is a very ambitious movie. Even if it consists of two parts, in the film market, each one will last more than 120 minutes.
The characters are even more complicated. In Wu Jianye's script, there are nearly twenty people.
This is already a very large number of people for a movie.
As for the photos of the shooting locations brought back by Zhao Fei, Wu Jianye will look for those that meet his requirements and then go on-site to investigate.
Zhao Fei got closer to Wu Jianye, and then introduced Wu Jianye to the scenery and characteristics of each place, as well as the differences brought by seasonal changes to the local scenery.
Wu Jianye asked some of his opinions.
"Okay, you can keep these photos here, I will study them carefully!" I will definitely not see them all today, so Wu Jianye kept the photos.
At the same time, in order to reward Zhao Fei, he took Zhao Fei to Shunfeng Restaurant again.
When he returned to Xishan Villa in the evening, Wu Jianye revised the script again.
When he saw one of the characters, he dialed a number directly regardless of the fact that it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.
"I am Wu Jianye, what are you filming now?" Wu Jianye asked directly.
Hearing Wu Jianye's voice on the other end of the phone, he quickly said: "We are filming a TV series and it will be finished soon!"
Wu Jianye smiled. Liu Yijun's life trajectory has also changed. In another time and space, Liu Yijun was directly assigned to Xiying Film Studio after graduating from film school. However, here, because of his previous participation in "The Legend of White Snake"
"The filming of "The Movie" also gained some popularity, so after graduation, he was retained by Tangting Culture.
If it was the mid to late 1980s, Liu Yijun might have considered going to Xiying Studio or staying at Tangting Culture.
But now, Liu Yijun didn't need to think about it at all and directly chose Tangting Culture.
Wu Jianye approached him this time because he was very suitable for a role in the new movie.
