Chapter 305 The Miserable Ning Hao

After Wu Yuchen finished chatting with Cai Yinong, not long after hanging up the phone, his cell phone rang again.

After looking at it, he picked it up and said with a smile: "Director Feng, I'm going to talk about you now. It's not like you don't have my phone number. If you have anything, just contact me directly! You look so lively~"

Feng Xiaogang's voice came from the other side of the phone:

"Director Wu, blame me, blame me! After all, there is a time difference between China and the United States. Our days and nights are reversed. I am really afraid of disturbing your rest, Director Wu, and affecting your shooting progress!

Director Wu, you are shooting a blockbuster in Hollywood, or shooting two movies in a row, with a capital of 500 million US dollars, which we in China can’t even catch up with in ten years of shooting costs. Your time and energy are precious!

If I don't have any other options, I really don't want to cause you any trouble! "

Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head. Feng Xiaogang still had the same taste.

He said directly: "Director Feng, I heard that you encountered a problem with your script. Please tell me what happened."

Feng Xiaogang stopped saying polite words and got down to business:

"Director Wu, that's what happened. Previously, I fell in love with a novella by Zhao Benfu called "A World Without Thieves". It tells the story of a prodigal son who turns back. The theme also encourages people to be kind. Ordinarily this It is also advocated in our traditional culture.

But I went through several drafts of this script and sent it to the scissors, but it just couldn't pass. You are now recognized as an expert in script writing, so I decided to ask you to take your pulse and give me some advice so that I can prescribe the right medicine! "

After hearing this, Wu Yuchen asked: "How many times have you been beaten back? After all, Big Scissors must have given you revision suggestions, right? What did they say?"

"They said a few things: First, my transformation as a thief was unconvincing and lacked the guidance of positive forces; second, they also said that I overly expressed the fight between thieves. The thief's final death was a bit tragic, while the policeman in the film The effect is not enough. In addition, there is the question of whether it will have negative social impact if the train is full of thieves.”

After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, he remembered and said quickly: "Director Wu, I'm sorry, I was so dizzy that I forgot that you haven't read the script yet!"

Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "Well, I really have to read your script before I can express my opinion. Please send me the script."

"This won't affect you, right?" Feng Xiaogang asked.

"Haha, although I'm quite busy right now, it would be nice to change my mood after reading your director Feng's script~"

"Hey, it's done! I'll send it to you right away!" Feng Xiaogang said happily.

Wu Yuchen waved his hand and said: "No, no, just give the script to Sister Xiaoran. She will come over next week and ask her to bring it to me. It's safer."

When Feng Xiaogang heard Wu Yuchen's words, he rolled his eyes, his heart moved, and he said: "That's great! Director Wu, it's a coincidence. I originally planned to invite Xiaoran as the heroine of this play. !”

Feng Xiaogang has also collaborated with Li Xiaoran before, in the film "Endless", which earned more than 30 million at the box office.

But now, when he heard Wu Yuchen's words, he felt that it must be a hint to him. coincide? Is he thinking too much? may be. But Feng Xiaogang has made it this far because he thinks more than others, is good at figuring out other people's thoughts, and pleases noble people.

So what if he thinks too much? With Li Xiaoran as the heroine, Wu Yuchen must have paid more attention to the script. This woman's pillow style is much more effective than his foul mouth thousands of miles away!

Besides, if the script fails, he has nothing to lose. However, as long as Director Wu is willing to exert his efforts, Feng Xiaogang is very confident that Scissors will definitely give him face!

"Huh? That's quite a coincidence! That's just right. Give the script to Sister Xiaoran first and let her read it first. Also, ask her to bring me the review opinions that you have sent back several times. Let me take a good look!”

"Okay!" Feng Xiaogang happily hung up the phone.

On the other side of the phone, Wu Yuchen also smiled. This Feng Xiaogang was indeed Feng Xiaogang. As soon as he said these words, the other party understood what his intention was.

He really wanted to win the heroine of "A World Without Thieves" for Li Xiaoran, that is, the role of a female thief. In her previous life, this was played by Liu Ruoying. How did Liu Ruoying win this role? It was also because of her man, Chen Guofu!

Chen Guofu is now the director of Columbia Asia. In this position, he brought a lot of funds to the Chinese film industry, mainly using Columbia to invest in martial arts movies, and then Columbia took away their European and American copyrights, such as "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" by Chinese brothers. This operation resulted in a considerable friendship with Chen Guofu.

In his previous life, the director of "A World Without Thieves" was obviously Chen Guofu, so his young lover Liu Ruoying naturally won the heroine!

However, Wu Yuchen plans to book this role for Li Xiaoran first. Even though Chen Guofu has energy, can he compare to Wu Yuchen?

As long as Wu Yuchen opens his mouth, even if Chen Guofu becomes the director of "A World Without Thieves", he will not be able to pursue this role again. Everyone is competing for men. You Liu Ruoying can't compete with Li Xiaoran, so don't complain.

As for investing? Since Feng Xiaogang didn't mention it, Wu Yuchen didn't plan to vote. Feng Xiaogang is still the contracted director of the Chinese brothers. Naturally, "A World Without Thieves" is also of Chinese origin, and he doesn't want to get too close to the Wang brothers.

Although "A World Without Thieves" was fairly good at the box office, he was not short of money. Is it not too much to help Feng Xiaogang solve a script problem and ask for a heroine?

As for whether it would be a waste of his energy to solve the script problem for "A World Without Thieves", Wang Shuo in his previous life could solve it in one sentence. How could it be a waste of Wu Yuchen's brain cells?

At night, the bed that had been busy for a long time stopped moving, and the room became quiet.

Jiang Qinqin lay on Wu Yuchen's chest, sucking in his taste, and said to him reluctantly:

"Husband, after I leave, you should take good care of yourself. Don't work all day and night until one or two in the morning. It is not good for your health. Also, pay more attention to what you eat and eat less cold food. You can skip some of these indigenous specialties. I still don’t want to eat. I saw before that Ning Hao seemed to have food poisoning, and he was so weak that he couldn’t walk..."

Hearing this, Wu Yuchen laughed. They were filming on an island before, and the local people were quite enthusiastic and brought out their specialties for the crew to eat.

Chen Er was more cautious and didn't eat, but Ning Hao, who was stupid and bold, didn't care and just ate with big mouthfuls. As a result, he got caught and had diarrhea for several days. There was no hospital on the island at that time, so he could only take medicine. As a result, the diarrhea could not be stopped. In a few days, his originally dark face turned pale, and he lost weight. He was waiting for the doctor to bring special medicine and infusion. After joining the group, he stopped, but it was very frustrating.

Wu Yuchen gently patted Jiang Qinqin's jade back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our crew's food has always been shipped from the United States. I promise to only eat the crew's food!"

For such a large crew, catering alone is a big expense. The crew has a catering department with dozens of people, preparing three meals a day for 800-1,000 people. Breakfast alone requires 1,100 to 1,500 eggs, 100 to 160 pounds of bacon, 80 loaves of bread, 50 pounds of sausage, more than 10 boxes of fruit and more.

"That's good! And..."

Jiang Qinqin continued to talk, but Wu Yuchen was not impatient at all. The love revealed in these words also made his heart warm.

After Jiang Qinqin finished speaking, he also explained to her: "I can't send you off this time. I have my agent Carl accompany me throughout the whole process. If you have any requirements, just ask him directly and he will definitely meet them. Everywhere you go, I’ll give you a call to make sure everything is safe~”

It's not that easy to get back to China from their filming location. You have to use various means of transportation to return to the United States, and then to Los Angeles before you can get a direct flight to China.

The two of them just talked to each other, and there was a warm atmosphere in the room.

…

A week later.

"Mouse, do you want to try this?" Ning Hao, a blond foreigner, picked up a piece of fruit and asked with a smile.

"Get out! Chris, if you tease me again, I'll stuff it into your anus!" Ning Hao yelled.

But he still firmly remembers the previous lesson. He is almost out of work, and he still doesn't dare to touch his anus, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Ning Hao didn't know how much his directing skills had improved during this trip to work with Director Wu on the "Pirate King" series, but he had really perfected his English. Now he could speak smoothly and blurt out curse words.

After spending half a year with the crew, Ning Hao has become familiar with this group of people. Since the last time he ate randomly and got seriously ill, these people have often made fun of him.

After Ning Hao finished speaking, he raised his glass and clinked it with Chris. He didn't dare to eat randomly, but it was okay to drink some wine, as long as it didn't delay work.

At this time, another foreigner on the side asked Ning Hao: "Hey, Mouse, didn't you say last week that the director's girlfriend left? I seem to have seen her back today."

Before Ning Hao could answer, Chris shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, brother, you must have read it wrong!"

The other party retorted: "No, I read that right. We don't have young women with black hair and yellow skin in our crew!"

Chris said firmly: "No, no, I swear, what you saw is definitely not the one from last week! I also saw this one today. She is much prettier than the one last week! She has a good figure. This time I I really agree with the director’s aesthetic! ”

"Really? Maybe I really saw it wrong. I'm still a little far away from her. Is she really in good shape?"

"Uh-huh! Her skin is very good, and she has an S figure..." Chris gestured.

These people are not surprised at all that Wu Yuchen has a woman next to him. This is really common in Hollywood.

At this time, Ning Hao raised his glass and interrupted: "Drink, drink, and don't discuss the director's personal relationships in private, including the women around him."

Chris raised his glass and said, "Oh, Mouse, I don't think you're going to complain, are you?"

"Of course I will! I'm the director's assistant!"

"Oh my god!"

…

At this time, several women who were more beautiful than Jiang Qinqin in the eyes of foreigners were lying on Wu Yuchen's lap, enjoying his massage: "I'm so exhausted, your place is so remote! Planes, cars, boats , and riding in the car is too much trouble!”

"Sister Ran Ran, thank you for your hard work. You came all the way, I'm so touched!" Wu Yuchen said while squeezing her shoulders.

Li Xiaoran chuckled and said, "I'd better treat you well! I'll be with you in just one phone call~"

"Yeah, yeah, sister Ran Ran is the best~" Wu Yuchen said, lowering his head and kissing her on the face.

Li Xiaoran nudged his head on Wu Yuchen's thigh again: "But to be honest, the more remote the place, the more beautiful it is. You have a good eye for location!"

"That's right, otherwise why would I choose you?" Wu Yuchen laughed.

Li Xiaoran smiled when he heard this.

After a while, Li Xiaoran got up from Wu Yuchen's lap and stretched: "Hmm~~ Really good!"

Then she took out a script and some accompanying materials from her bag and handed them to Wu Yuchen: "Here, Director Feng asked me to bring it to you~"

Wu Yuchen looked at the words "A World Without Thieves" written on it, smiled at Li Xiaoran, and then asked: "Sister Ranran, have you read it? What do you think?"

"Yes, it's quite interesting. I think this story is quite like the ancient knight stories, the prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, "Three Heroes and Five Gallants", yes, just like Bai Yutang, although he is a thief, but he is chivalrous and righteous..."

Wu Yuchen flipped through the script and said: "You are talking about the original novel!"

Li Xiaoran asked curiously: "Eh? Have you read the original novel?"

Wu Yuchen nodded: "Yes, this novel was published several years ago."

The original novel of "A World Without Thieves" is not long, less than 10,000 words. The male and female protagonists are indeed more like chivalrous thieves. They don't steal for money, but travel all the way. When they have no money, they will find unkind people to steal. They will also rob the rich to help the poor and donate to the Hope Project. The novel repeatedly mentions that they are not bad people, so after seeing the ignorant Sha Gen, they want to protect him.

However, in Feng Xiaogang's script, for the tension of the drama, he changed the character setting. The couple is indeed a male and female thief who commits crimes specifically for money.

But in this way, there is a problem in logic. Why would a pair of thieves who only want to make money suddenly change their nature and protect the "thief-free dream" of an innocent child?

Li Xiaoran saw that Wu Yuchen had flipped through the script page by page and picked up the review comments to look at it. She couldn't help but say: "Is it easy to change this pile of review comments?"

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: "Of course, we can't change them one by one according to their opinions, otherwise the script will be completely different!"
