The crew of "The Legend of Wesley" got a very critical run-in when shooting in Nepal, and after intense filming in Hong Kong, all the crew members were in awe of Zhou Wen from the bottom of their hearts. This awe does not mean that Zhou Wen holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand, but that The professionalism he demonstrated in his work, and as the shooting progress accelerated, everyone was completely inspired by Zhou Wen.
Not to mention that Dilong is Zhou Wen¡¯s old partner, even Teddy Luo Bin admired Zhou Wen¡¯s ability to mobilize the enthusiasm of the crew and maintain a long-term shooting, so he went to learn a lot in private and learned a lot of useful things.
Learning is mutual, and Zhou Wen naturally learned a lot from Teddy Luo Bin. Although Teddy Luo Bin has a weak antenna in his body, his musical talent is one of the best in the entire New Art City. During the heyday of New Art City, Most of the film's soundtrack was written by Teddy Luo Bin, and in the later stages, it was discontinued one after another. Xu Kecai collaborated with Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui and others.
After the exchange of work, Teddy Luo Bin smiled and suggested: "Awen, according to the current shooting progress, we may complete the task two days ahead of schedule. How about taking this opportunity to spend a few days in Egypt? It can be regarded as enriching experience and gaining knowledge. I won¡¯t let you down by visiting Egypt once.¡±
"It's better not to give it up." Zhou Wen shook his head and refused and said: "There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in Hong Kong. I want to rush back as soon as the filming is completed to prepare for the launch of "A Chinese Ghost Story"."
Seeing this, Teddy Luo Bin continued: "Hey, it's a rare opportunity. I don't know when it will come again in the future. It should be a balance between work and rest."
Zhou Wen still insisted on his own point of view: "The mood is different. It won't be too late to come back after I feel relaxed."
"Okay. Get some rest early." The persuasion was fruitless, and Teddy Luo Bin was too embarrassed to stay here. He patted his butt and left. When he was at the door, he met Wang Zuxian again: "Xiaoxian came to share his experience with Awen again?"
Wang Zuxian's face turned red when he heard this, and he hummed softly. He ignored Teddy Luo Bin's teasing and pushed the door in. After coming to Egypt, she often chatted with Zhou Wen on the grounds of work, as if she had endless things to say. , and the topics she talked about were all about acting and roles. Zhou Wen couldn't make any comments.
¡°You can sit wherever you want and get whatever you want to drink.¡± After Zhou Wen said hello, he continued to write the copy with his head down.
Wang Zuxian was not angry, so he took out two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator and opened them. While drinking, he walked behind Zhou Wen and said, "Brother Wen, have a glass of cold beer to quench your thirst before you get busy."
"Thank you." Zhou Wen took a sip and continued writing without raising his head from beginning to end.
"Brother Wen, what are you writing? You are so focused." Wang Zuxian asked reluctantly. Maybe Zhou Wen was fascinated by the writing or he didn't notice it. As a result, Wang Zuxian's question was not answered.
Being ignored for the first time, Wang Zuxian pouted depressedly, then bent down and put her pretty face very close to Zhou Wen's ear. As the distance got closer, she naturally saw what Zhou Wen was writing.
I saw the shots and dialogues about "A Chinese Ghost Story" written clearly on the manuscript paper. One of them was exactly about Wang Zuxian's final makeup sketch. The little girl in the painting was so charming that even Wang Zuxian himself was stunned after seeing it. on the spot.
"Is that me? I didn't expect that I would look like this after putting on ancient costumes"
Wang Zuxian has already read the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story". I knew that I played the role of Xiaoqian, a female ghost who was forced by her grandmother to seduce a man in the film, but Zhou Wen never let her see the costumes or let her audition from the beginning to the end. So judging from her experience in filming fashion dramas, Xiaoqian, the female ghost, should be very Sexy and sultry is what it takes, otherwise how can you seduce Ning Caichen?
But the makeup sketch in front of her completely changed Wang Zuxian's inherent view. It was a kind of distant classical beauty, and Xiaoqian's eyes were cold. She had a sad expression and exuded an unearthly aura, as if she was not a female ghost, but more like a fairy descending to earth.
Wang Zuxian stared at the sketch and couldn't help but get excited. So Zhou Wen, who was immersed in writing dialogue, felt bursts of hot air coming from his ears and neck, and there was also a smell of daughter's fragrance. The smell was very sultry and made him a little uncomfortable. He turned his head and wanted to say something to Wang Zuxian.
Who would have thought that it would be better not to turn around, but this turning of the head directly brought the distance between the two people a little closer, so close that they were face to face, lips to lips
In an instant, both of them felt an electric shock. Although the two had had a "kissing scene" before, it was just a joke and not a real kiss. They could have faked it by staggering the shots.
But now, the two of them were really kissing each other. Although they were just touching each other lightly, the heat radiated between their lips made each other nervous.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it just now." After a brief moment of surprise, Zhou Wen tilted his head back, and the two of them locked lips.??separate.
"It's not your faultit's just a coincidence. You don't have to apologize to me." Wang Zuxian also straightened up, his cheeks were hot, and he looked down at the floor. The atmosphere in the room was somewhat awkward.
Wang Zuxian even closed her eyes shyly just now, her heart pounding like a deer. Unfortunately, the situation did not develop in the direction she expected. When she heard Zhou Wen apologize, she was still a little disappointed deep in her heart.
Just when both of them were about to find some topics to resolve the current embarrassment, the phone rang at the right time. Zhou Wen stood up to answer the phone. Wang Zuxian also calmed down the ripples in her heart and calmed herself down. Although she had a crush on Zhou Wen, she could Zhou Wen's reaction showed that he was not mentally prepared enough, and he didn't know how to face the complicated relationship next, at least not yet.
Zhou Wen answered the call for a long time. Wang Zuxian sat aside with his heart full of thoughts and did not hear what he said. He only knew that his mood was very high, as if he had heard some exciting news.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the confused Wang Zuxian finally saw Zhou Wen hang up the phone.
"Who called?" Wang Zuxian asked subconsciously.
"Who else besides Honggu?" Zhou Wen said happily: "She brought a lot of good news, do you want to hear it?"
"OK."
Zhou Wen rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "The first good news is that "Boxer" will be released in North America in mid-March. Zhang Jiazhen will return to Hong Kong today to arrange the copying. At the same time, the video tape of "Boxer" will be sent to the United States and mainland China. .¡±
Wang Zuxian smiled brightly when he heard this, and was really happy for Zhou Wen.
"Congratulations, it has always been your dream to publish overseas, and you can finally get your wish."
"Thank you." Zhou Wen said with a smile: "But compared to the release in the United States, I am more concerned about the distribution of video tapes in the mainland. Unexpectedly, Uncle Shao finally spoke up and agreed to recommend three of Zhou's films to coastal cities in the mainland. .¡±
Wang Zuxian looked at Zhou Wen and acted as a listener very sensibly. She didn't know that Zhou Wen paid much more attention to the mainland market than Europe and the United States. Maybe the situation in the mainland has not been very optimistic in the past few years, but in a few years or even more than ten years, the mainland will become Hong Kong The biggest box office profit battlefield for movies.
Zhou Wen can take advantage of Shao Liushu's line to deliver video tapes to mainland coastal cities, which means that mainland audiences will also appreciate Zhou's works. Maybe the profits will not be very big, but as long as they start a banner in the mainland these days, they will be able to fully enter the mainland in the future. Also very helpful.
"The second thing is that our Zhou family has suddenly become the favorite for the Academy Awards" Zhou Wen's mood rose a little higher, and he danced and introduced various nominations for this year's Academy Awards to Wang Zuxian, just like a child.
It was only then that Wang Zuxian saw Zhou Wen, who was about the same age as himself. He was excited, enthusiastic, sunny and eloquent. He was completely different from his usual image of a director and boss who was serious, not angry and self-confident.
At least, Wang Zuxian likes Zhou Wen now. He is sharing the joy of success with himself. As a member of the Zhou family, he is also sharing the collective honor.
But gradually, Wang Zuxian developed a slight sense of inferiority, because she heard that Hong Gu was nominated for Best Actress, Zhou Runfa was nominated for Best Actor, and even Zhou Cai'er, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Ming, who were the latest to join the industry, were also nominated for Newcomer, but she did not do anything for her. Any nominations that Zhou received, even "Romantic Purple Flower", which was nominated for Best Film Song, were not sung by her real person, because she could easily sing out of tune.
"Xiaoxian, what's wrong with you?" After Zhou Wen noticed Wang Zuxian's loss, he asked a little strangely: "Did you suffer from heatstroke while filming during the day?"
Zhou Wen said, raising his hand and placing it on Wang Zuxian's forehead, "There's no fever, that's strange."
Wang Zuxian bit his lip and said in a low mood: "Brother Wen, there's nothing wrong with me. I just feel like a vase. You see everyone is working so hard, but I didn't bring you any nominations. I always feel so useless."
"Silly girl, don't have such thoughts." Zhou Wen knelt down, put his hands on Wang Zuxian's shoulders and comforted: "Winning an award or not does not mean how good your acting skills are. As long as you encounter a good script, you will go all out. With your acting skills and a little bit of luck, winning awards is a piece of cake.¡±
Wang Zuxian curled his lips and said in disbelief: "Is it true?"
"Of course!" Zhou Wen said swornly: "You may not be convinced by others, just say Honggu. There was a saying before that the most popular one is Zhong Chuhong, which shows that Honggu is blameless in the film industry in terms of popularity and box office. These She also worked very hard to hone her acting skills during the year, but none of the scripts suited her, so she was always a bit unlucky when it came to winning awards. After winning the Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards, some people said?The consolation prize awarded to her by the judges is actually not the case. I think it is the result of her years of hard work. "
"With a good script, a suitable role, and a little bit of luck, can you win an award?" Wang Zuxian raised his head, his big watery eyes shining with anticipation, and suddenly said: "Brother Wen, you Let me get a movie queen!"
