Chapter 429 WUTI
Li Xiaolu, who was stretching her legs with Yang Mi, saw Xu Kun opening the brown paper bag and taking out a script. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the new script you received? What's the subject matter?"
"It's the movie 'Nanjing! Nanjing!' that Lu Chuan is currently filming."
Xu Kun shook the script in his hand at her and said, "He came to me yesterday and wanted me to give Fan Wei to him, but I refused. I guess he was not convinced and wanted me to see how awesome his script is."
Before she finished speaking, Li Xiaolu felt the force pressing on her legs weakened a lot. She turned around and rolled her eyes at Yang Mi, saying, "They've already started filming for more than a month, so don't worry about it."
"without me……"
Yang Mi wanted to deny it, but Li Xiaolu had already turned her head back and pouted at Xu Kun, "I don't know whether Lu Chuan's script is good or not, but I heard that his crew is in a mess, and a group of Japanese actors protest at every turn, unwilling to admit the immoral things their ancestors did back then.
The extras in the crew couldn't stand it and almost had conflicts with the Japanese several times, but they were suppressed by Lu Chuan in the end - I also heard that Liu Ye basically didn't communicate with those Japanese actors in the crew. "
Lu Chuan brought a group of Japanese actors into the crew, probably because he wanted to portray authentic Japanese devils.
But he didn't think about it. How could the Japanese admit the heinous blood debt committed by their ancestors? There might be a few exceptions, but most of them would definitely not be willing to act according to the "real" situation.
How can the performance achieve the desired purpose with such a group of people who resist from the bottom of their hearts?
So he spent a lot of money to hire so many Japanese actors, but in fact it was just to add a gimmick to the movie.
Although Xu Kun was not very interested in the script, since it had been sent to him, he had to see what he was up to.
As a result, when I flipped through it casually, I found that this was not just a script, but also a copy of the draft that Lu Chuan had personally reviewed.
It is filled with Lu Chuan's calm or emotional comments, as well as a lot of divergent extended thoughts.
In terms of literary quality alone, this thing does have some substance.
But leaving aside the literary quality, in Xu Kun's view, his annotations and thoughts are completely contradictory.
While Lu Chuan cursed the Japanese devils' cold-blooded cruelty, he also mentioned Ms. Zhang Chunru from time to time. To be honest, it was through Lu Chuan's script that Xu Kun gradually learned about Ms. Zhang's works and life.
At the same time, Lu Chuan kept reminding himself in the annotations that human nature is complex. The collective bestiality of the Japanese devils must have something deeper behind it. What was behind this?
Could it be that they had no choice? Were they deceived? Were they cheated? Were they coerced? Otherwise, why would anyone commit suicide after the war?
Moreover, Lu Chuan also said in the script that he did not shoot the high-level officials of both sides in order to leave some blanks, to trigger more thinking among the audience, and to make everyone reflect more on the horror of war...
After such a deep investigation, the overall plot gives people the feeling that a group of helpless and confused people slaughtered another group of helpless and numb people.
I bought a watch last year!
Is there still any black and white, right and wrong, good and evil? !
Xu Kun first threw the script into the trash can, but then he thought about it and felt unsatisfied, so he took it to the kitchen and burned it.
Yesterday Lu Chuan said that after Xu Kun read the script, he would be able to understand his good intentions, but after reading the script, Xu Kun just wanted to give him a few big ear notes.
Li Xiaolu and Yang Mi saw the fire in the kitchen and ran over to see what was going on.
Seeing that Xu Kun was burning the script, Yang Mi was a little confused.
Li Xiaolu, however, was well-informed and guessed that this script had probably hit Xu Kun's lungs, so she leaned against the door frame and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you mad at Lu Chuan's script?"
Xu Kun cursed with a dark face: "These sixth-generation directors are really crazy! When a proper meal is served, they will pick and choose to find faults; when a piece of undigested bean sprout is dug out of the cesspool, they will treat it as a treasure and put it right in the middle of the table for you."
Li Xiaolu laughed so hard when she heard this: "Aren't you also a sixth-generation director now?"
"Who is the sixth generation director? You are the sixth director! I was tricked by Han Sanping!"
Amid Xu Kun's angry protests, Yang Mi took out a broom and dustpan from behind the door and put the remaining burnt paper and ashes into the trash can.
Because there was a black spot on the floor, she got a mop from the bathroom and it took her a lot of effort to finally clean it up.
At this time, Xu Kun and Li Xiaolu disappeared.
Yang Mi thought that the two of them were going out to exercise to relieve stress, but when she opened the bedroom door, she didn't see anyone, but instead heard some noise coming from the study.
"So it's Mecca. It seems Chen Shu became famous by filming his script."
"You mean 'The Secret Calculation'?"
"Yes, that TV series was quite popular last year - if you want to film Mai Jia's script, Chen Shu will definitely pester you for the female lead."
Hearing this, Yang Mi hurriedly pretended to open the door casually and walked into the study. Although she has already confirmed that she will play the second female lead in "Chinese Paladin III", if she can play an important role in Kun Ge's new film, wouldn't it be a double insurance?
You have to know that you are a woman who is about to bear a 3000 million bet, so you must desperately fight for every opportunity to become famous.
When the two saw her come in, they didn't stop talking.
Xu Kun replied: "In fact, it was Vice President Chen Guo who liked the script, but Director Feng felt that since he is a Benevolent man, he might not be able to capture the spirit of sacrificing one's life."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Isn't this what Director Feng wanted me to take over? The script is indeed good, but I have never worked on a similar subject before. If I fail in this project, wouldn't I just offend people and make a fool of myself?"
"Then just refuse."
"You put it lightly."
Xu Kun said helplessly, "The Banquet flopped, and Director Feng's illness hasn't improved. Now Assembly is about to be released. His heart is like a boiling oil pan, which will explode if it touches water. If I go against him at this time, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I plan to work with Director Feng to find a suitable candidate to take over this project - if we can't find the right person, we will wait until Assembly is released before making any plans."
"Brother Kun~"
Hearing this, Yang Mi finally couldn't help but interrupt.
"It's none of your business."
Xu Kun had already guessed her thoughts: "It's uncertain whether Chen Shu can be included by then, let alone you - you should first perform well in "Chinese Paladin III" before we talk about other things."
Yang Mi had no choice but to shut up.
At this time, Li Xiaolu said again: "By the way, I'm going to the United States in a few days. Can you take care of fat NuNu for me for a few days?"
Fat NuNu is the Teddy dog raised by Li Xiaolu.
"Why give it to me? I've never raised that thing before."
Xu Kun's face was full of rejection. He liked large dogs, such as various hounds, and he just couldn't like Teddy dogs at all.
"Don't you have the key to the rooftop? Just tie it up on the rooftop when the time comes. Just remember to feed it water and dog food every day."
"alright."
Although he was reluctant, Xu Kun couldn't refuse since Li Xiaolu asked him for help.
At this time, Yang Mi asked curiously: "Sister Xiaolu, why are you going to the United States?"
"Oh, do you think I want to go?"
Li Xiaolu said depressedly: "It's my mom who said that now that I'm famous, I should try my luck in Hollywood. She even contacted a crew for me and insisted that I audition."
Although Aunt Liu is more famous in the circle, Li Xiaolu's mother Zhang Weixin actually followed the same path - at about the same age and in about the same era, she left her husband and took her daughter to the "Beacon of Freedom".
Then, when his daughter was about to become an adult, he brought her back to the mainland film and television industry to develop her career.
the difference is:
Liu Xiaoli went to the United States after divorcing her husband; Zhang Weixin did not divorce and went directly to the United States with her daughter.
The first drama Liu Xiaoli arranged for her daughter to take was "The Story of a Noble Family"; while Zhang Weixin found a shortcut for her daughter to become famous by taking off her clothes.
