I'm serious about making money

When Zhang Xiaofei saw Jiang Yu again, Jiang Yu supported her waist with one hand, and there was still wolfberry soaked in the thermos.

"What's the matter with you? Have you started to maintain your health?" Zhang Xiaofei asked strangely.

"Oh, it's okay, I haven't slept well these two nights," Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes, "What do you want to drink?"

"I can do it."

"Then two cups of bubble tea."

Soon, the waiter brought two cups of milk tea, and Zhang Xiaofei took a sip and said, "You're so polite, what do you want me for? Don't tell me, I'm going to copy my graduation thesis too."

"How can it be?" Jiang Yu said with a smile: "I didn't come to you this time to copy homework, I came to you to make a movie."

"It's rare, you are such a great director, you still remember me."

"You forgot, I promised you before that I would find you to make a movie."

Zhang Xiaofei thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was such a thing. It was at Yang Mi's birthday party, and Jiang Yu went up to sing the song "Shan Dan Dan Blossoming Red and Brilliant..."

She thought it was just a joke, but unexpectedly, after a few years, Jiang Yu actually came to cash in on it.

"What role?" Zhang Xiaofei was a little touched, "No matter what the role is, I will definitely take it."

"Hey, don't rush to agree, my role is a bit special, you have to read the script before you talk about it," Jiang Yu took out a stack of crumpled scripts from his backpack and handed them over, "Maybe, I need to challenge your image. "

"Image? What image can I have?" Zhang Xiaofei took over the script, not paying attention to Jiang Yu's reminder.

It is said that there are a total of three female characters in "Donkey Gets Water". The most outstanding one is naturally the female teacher Zhang Yiman, followed by the principal's daughter Sun Jia, and the last is the coppersmith's daughter-in-law-a country woman who is five big and three rough.

Zhang Yiman's role, Jiang Yu, had to be scouted a bit more, as ordinary actresses really couldn't play this kind of role.

At least the four little Huadans are out of action.

Currently it is tentatively determined to be Li Xiaolu and Yuan Yiyi.

Sun Jia is easy to handle, Jiang Yu plans to invite Li Qian.

This girl later played Lu Qingcheng in "The Bodyguard of the Dragon Gate". The characters of the two characters are quite similar. Acquaintance belongs to yes.

The last one is the daughter-in-law of the coppersmith. This role does not have many roles, and she needs to be ugly in the movie. Jiang Yu thinks about Zhang Xiaofei among the actors she knows, and Zhang Xiaofei is the most suitable.

Of course, whether she is willing to act is still a question.

"I'm willing to act." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaofei flipped through the script casually, and agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

Seeing Jiang Yu looking at her, he quickly said: "Really, I can definitely act well..."

Jiang Yu stared at her for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

It wasn't until Jiang Yu nodded that Zhang Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was afraid that if she agreed too late, the play appointment would be gone.

On the way back, Jiang Yu thought for a long time before she understood.

In his eyes, Zhang Xiaofei is his classmate and the future Golden Rooster Queen.

But in Zhang Xiaofei's eyes, she herself is just a young actor who went to more than 30 production crews but failed to find a film, and was almost caught by unspoken rules.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu is already the fifth domestic director with a box office of over [-] million.

So what's the matter with being ugly, if he really howls in the film and television industry, I don't know how many actresses rush to grab the show appointment.

So, this is because I became famous too fast, and I still feel a little uncomfortable?

Jiang Yu rubbed her temples, feeling that she might have been too conservative when choosing actors.

Xu Zheng also felt the same way.

"Your script is very interesting, Jiang Yu. It is said to be a comedy, but it is actually a tragedy. It is very ironic. Such a script is really rare in China!"

After Xu Zheng read the script of "The Donkey Gets Water", he was full of praise, "If you finish this script, you might be able to send it to Berlin to win an award."

"Pull it down, I didn't think that far."

For filmmakers, Cannes and Berlin are basically the highest halls in the film industry. Not to mention winning awards, as long as they can get a nomination, it is enough to honor their ancestors.

There are also some female stars who don't even have nominations, but only love to go to the red carpet, and when they spread to China, they can book several popular hot searches.

Jiang Yu really wanted to use "Donkey Gets Water" to build a reputation, but he never thought about awards like Berlin.

These things are too far away from him.

Xu Zheng said, "I'm serious, your script has the potential to be sent to Berlin."

"Think about it, you are a rookie director, and your first movie grossed over [-] million. Berlin has to train a rookie like you. I think there is still hope for you to be selected into the non-competition section."

He urged Jiang Yu vigorously, and strongly recommended him to upgrade the cast, invite a few actors who are well-known in international film festivals, and then send them to Berlin.

Not to mention winning an award, as long as you can be selected into the non-competition section and go to the red carpet, it is considered a victory.

Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

If he can go to Berlin to rub a wave of red carpet, and then find a wave of trolls to buy the draft, wouldn't it be possible to blow him into Zhang Yimou's second place?

In this way, when the movie is released, the box office will not be huge!

This deal really works.

Jiang Yu quickly finished the calculations in his mind, then poured a cup of tea for Xu Zheng, and wondered: "How do you know so much?"

Xu Zheng chuckled, "I'm usually just thinking about it."

At this time, Xu Zheng fully showed his restless side.

He is not satisfied with being an actor, but ambitious to create his own world in the film circle.

Otherwise, what is an actor thinking about going to Berlin to win awards?

This guy is ambitious, visionary, and capable. Apart from having no hair, he basically has the qualities necessary for a successful person. No wonder he was able to make a phenomenal movie like "Lost in Thailand" later.

Jiang Yu's advantage lies in the fact that he has more experience in the next ten years, but in terms of structure, there are still many things to learn.

"Then which actors do you think are suitable, give me some advice?" Jiang Yu was as good as he was, and humbly asked for advice.

"Well, Zhang Yiman, who do you plan to invite to play?"

"Let's tentatively decide on Li Xiaolu, but I haven't contacted her yet."

"How did you think of Li Xiaolu?" Xu Zheng was surprised.

"Because... there are hooks in her eyes, which can hook a man's soul. Otherwise, the little coppersmith wouldn't be put in her sleep so quickly."

"Tsk," Xu Zheng stroked his big bald head, and thought for a while: "No, Zhang Yiman is more open-minded. If you invite her to act, it's easy to act debauched..."

Jiang Yu nodded, feeling the same way.

In the era when the Internet celebrity awl face was not yet popular, sister-in-law's cooking was really unique.

So his candidate is Yuan Yiyi.

As for the original version of Ren Suxi, she was still too young to support a character like Zhang Yiman at all.

"Why don't you try inviting Qin Hailu or Hao Lei, they are not only good at acting, they are also quite influential in international film festivals." Xu Zheng gave his suggestion.

He thought very clearly, since he wanted to take the award-winning route, he must rely on literary films, and naturally he had to hire those literary film actors.

Especially the two roles of Zhang Yiman and Zhou Tienan are the soul of the whole movie, and the best and most suitable actors must be invited to play them.

Influenced by "The Donkey Gets Water" in her previous life, Jiang Yu just wanted to make a low-budget, high-reputation movie to prove her own strength, so she chose Xiao Bing as Zhou Tienan's No. 1 choice.

Now Xu Zheng directly suggested that he take the route of earning awards, so Xiao Bing, Yuan Yiyi and others must be replaced.

After some discussion, the two delineated Fan Wei, Qin Hailu, Ge You and other big names, and finally decided to attack Ge You first.

There is a special commissioner in "Donkey Gets Water". This role has a little connotation of the logistics team leader (blank here) Mr. Chang, so a bald head must be found to play it.

At this time, the most famous bald head in China is naturally Ge You.

"Do you think Uncle Ge can come?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on whether your book can impress him."

"Yes, I still have to rely on me to fool around."

Uncle Ge can be said to be a character who can be said to be the god of the sea in the film industry of the Celestial Dynasty. As long as he is dealt with, other roles will be easy to talk about.
