Chapter 110 Brother Tianwang grabs the protagonist
There are only eight characters in the whole movie, six men and two women, who are professors of archeology, humanities, psychology, and biology at the same university.
But there is only one protagonist, the male protagonist, and the other people's business expertise, dialogue, and attitude are all to serve him.
But,
There are two people in front of me.
Brother, Liu Tianwang is staring at you with big eyes and small eyes.
"I won't compete with you for Xiaobao's new song. Leave the male lead to me, and you will play the psychologist."
"Go away, I already said it suits Xu Shaoxiong. I suspect you want to take advantage of me." My brother was not fooled: "Besides, that song was my first choice."
"Then I need to get to know Xiaobao first."
The conversation between the two was like a child's quarrel, with no logic and just strong words.
Xiaobao was watching from the side, not relaxed at all, because...
"Xiaobao, tell me, we are suitable!"
Sure enough, after a while of arguing, the problem he was worried about came.
How should I say this? He couldn't afford to offend either of them, and it wouldn't be right to say anything to anyone.
"Boss, don't embarrass me." Xiaobao said with a bitter face.
"As a director, you definitely have a unique perspective on the character. It's okay, we won't be angry!"
Haha, these two bad old men are very bad. They set a trap for me, so I don't want to be fooled.
"Actually, the protagonist is very simple. He is a middle-aged man. He is wise, precise, and friendly. Because he is used to seeing the changes in the world, big and small, he is not surprised by favors or humiliations. You are all suitable." Xiaobao's words are like snake oil: "Don't say it's me.
Even if director Zhang Yimou comes over and sees that you are the candidate, he will definitely have a huge headache."
Anyway, I just lick it, but I will never make a decision.
I can do whatever you want, but I won't do anything that offends others.
After hearing his words, the big guys laughed. Who doesn't like to hear good words? Liu Minghua breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been the same choice for him.
"Then I must ask you to choose one?" Liu Tianwang blinked.
"I have to say goodbye first. We meet each other in the mountains and rivers, and we are destined to see you again." Qin Xiaobao was also a bachelor, stood up and clasped his fists.
Ha ha ha ha!
"Forget it, don't embarrass him." My brother was in a very happy mood: "By the way, you haven't answered me yet, how long does it take to prepare? If Hua Zai is not scheduled, it will be solved."
"Actually, the preparation is fast, about half a month. I will revise the script in the past few days. If the screenwriter can be in place quickly, it can save some time, and then let the company prepare the props for the shooting first, August 2
All done before the 10th."
"Oh yes, you have to go to Italy, right?" My brother remembered: "Actually, there is no need to rush."
"It's not that I'm in a hurry. It really doesn't take too much time. Everyone's costumes are the same, so there's no need to move to different locations. The shooting is also gradual and just progresses according to the event. Even the staff don't need too many, and indoor sitcoms
It almost feels like it’s not difficult at all.
Especially, since you are all professional actors, you can save more time."
Liu Tianwang thought about it and found that indeed, the current film shooting cycle is generally about three months. But in the past, when we were rushing to make progress here in Xiangjiang, it was common to shoot one film a week, but the effect would be worse and problems would easily arise.
But "This Man Earth" is different.
There are no extras, all eight are professionals, there are no action scenes, almost all dialogues, it is indeed not difficult for everyone.
I just have some slight thoughts in my heart, and I always feel that a good show needs to be worked out.
There is nothing wrong with Xiaobao's explanation.
The most time-consuming part of making a movie is actually not the filming itself, but transitions, on-site preparation, and the condition of the actors.
Sometimes on the set, it starts to rain, and maybe a whole day is wasted.
All the scenes are in the villa, and there is no need to change the makeup or rush to the show, so the progress will be fast naturally.
As for the quality, I already know the outline of the script and I feel confident about it.
What,
Are you asking if the box office can be guaranteed?
Nowadays, which director or actor dares to say that his work will be a big hit? It is no longer an exception to start high and go low, and start low and go high.
Besides, this type of movie is not designed to make money.
For the sake of new ideas and breakthroughs, it is worth spending a week playing it.
"How's it going? Are you out of time?" My brother looked at the King and asked.
"I'm sorry, I have quite a lot of time, so why don't you give me some love?"
"Impossible." My brother was very happy to say that he got on that flight today.
Swish, swish, several people looked at Qin Xiaobao again.
Xiaobao frowned, thinking about it, and touched his lower abdomen with his left hand: "Ouch."
"What's wrong with you?" My brother was indeed fooled.
"It's not very serious, it's an old problem, chronic superficial gastritis!" Xiaobao lowered his head and looked sad.
"hiss..."
Everyone didn't realize he was serious, and it didn't look like he was pretending.
"Do I need to take medicine?" Liu Tianwang was concerned.
"It's okay, just take it easy and it'll be fine. I have medicine at home, but I just forgot to bring it."
Liu Minghua on the side was confused, what, why don't I know what's wrong with you? He took out his mobile phone and asked, "What's your name? Chronic something."
After looking at the results, he couldn't help laughing.
Okay, indigestion.
Xiaobao does have medicine at home, Jianweixiaoshi tablets. Occasionally, if he eats too fast, he will have some indigestion.
The bitter plan is successful, but the big bosses can't keep forcing him.
The battle for the protagonist continues, and neither of the two can convince the other.
"Let's just do rock, paper, scissors. The winner will play the leading role." My brother had no choice but to say directly.
"Okay, you are all decent people, you can decide the outcome!" Liu Tianwang looked at the other people.
Assistant Zhenghua smiled and said: "You can write this down in case the movie wins an award in the future, or during promotion, reporters ask, brother/king, how did you get this role?
You can say that I won it by winning the guessing game."
Hahaha!
The two big guys also laughed. It was quite interesting to imagine that scene.
Xiaobao's stomach no longer hurt at this time. He remembered the variety show he had watched on Earth: "What if there is a time difference? One of them is a little slow."
"Well..." The two of them became serious.
"I have an idea."
"Say it."
"Please both of you go out for a moment, and Mr. Zhenghua stays to help me."
Although they didn't understand it, they still did it.
"Mr. Zhenghua, help me bring in two more cups of milk tea." Xiaobao said immediately after watching his brother disappear.
"okay."
Soon, Zhenghua came back.
Xiaobao first poured out some of the two cups of milk tea, picked up the white vinegar on the table, and without saying a word, poured it into one of the cups.
The sour smell spread in the room, causing others to frown and swallow their saliva involuntarily.
"It seems not even close." Xiaobao dipped his chopsticks into it and tasted it. He walked outside and took back two more small jars.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Liu Minghua already understood.
"Wouldn't the smell come out?"
Zhenghua asked after seeing Xiaobao squinting and nodding.
"It's okay, just cover it." Xiaobao pointed to two cups of milk tea with added ingredients: "Look, can you tell the difference from the appearance?"
The two of them came closer and looked at it for a while.
"The color is a bit lighter with vinegar."
"That's okay." Xiaobao waved his hand: "The King of Heaven has probably never drank milk tea with vinegar. I believe he doesn't know what it is like. You can call in."
Soon, the big guys sat down.
The other things on the table have been put aside, and in the middle are two covered cups of milk tea.
"My game is called Fu Bu Fu. There are two cups of milk tea, one with vinegar and one with normal. Choose the milk tea with vinegar and be eliminated. How about it!"
"Interesting!" After my brother said this, he wanted to extend his hand.
"Wait a minute, you can only look at it, you can't open it and smell it." Xiaobao quickly stopped him: "If you touch it, the selection is complete."
The elder brother immediately stopped his hand and made an observation gesture.
"King of heaven, don't look at Zhenghua, I have already changed the positions of the two cups, and he doesn't know which is which!"
"Can you have some potential?" My brother laughed and scolded.
Liu Tianwang shrugged indifferently: "Take a look. What's wrong? I'm not allowed to see him. You can also look at him."
Okay, the quarrel started again.
"Then I have a question." My brother looked at it for a while. There was a difference, but he was confused. He couldn't figure out the original color of the milk tea. He was well prepared. There were no other samples on the table, so there was no way to compare.
"Please say."
"What if I choose the one with vinegar and drink it all?"
"Believe me, you can't drink it." Xiaobao smiled and said, "Come on, please make your choice."
"Then here's the question!" His brother looked at him: "Which one of us will choose first?"
Xiaobao was stunned.
"How about rock, paper, scissors?"
"Hahahahaha!"
After going around in a circle, we come back to the problem.
However, the white vinegar milk tea obviously aroused the interest of the two of them, which is a bit interesting.
After a simple guessing game, my brother got the first choice, and Liu Tianwang didn't have much objection.
Without knowing it, there is no advantage in choosing first. Fifty versus fifty is pure luck.
"alright!"
After another five minutes, the two of them each picked up a cup of milk tea.
