623. If you dont give up...(1/3)
"Director Xu, good morning."
"Xu Dazao."
"Director Xu, good morning."
Xu Xin looked at the few people who walked in, smiled and nodded:
"morning."
At this moment, he is sitting in the small screening room of the West Film Studio, with these script books in his hand.
After Wen Zhang, Tang Yan, and Di Wei greeted him, he responded and distributed the notebooks in his hands to the three of them.
"Let's take a look at the lines first. The editing and some special effects are almost done. We will watch the whole movie in a while. The places that need dubbing are marked in the book. Pay special attention to it and grasp your emotions. After the dubbing begins
, just follow the editing story flow."
As he spoke, he scanned the three people's faces.
Wen Zhang and Di Wei were okay, they looked quite normal in their bare faces.
On the contrary, it was Tang Yan...
Wearing makeup?
Tsk.
Really dedicated.
At this time, the phone in the screening room rang, and Xu Xin picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Director Xu, I am Ma Shuangming. Director Qi asked me to send the scripts of "Partners" and "Youth" to your office. This is the revised script and you need to review it."
"Well……"
Ma Shuangming...who is here?
He couldn't remember for a while, but he still said:
"You can send it directly to the screening room here in post-production. I can't go back now."
"Hmm, okay, just wait a moment, I'll be there right now."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the time and saw that it was almost 9:30 and Wang Sicong hadn't come yet, so he took his mobile phone and called him.
The phone rang for a while, and then Wang Sicong's confused voice rang:
"Hello?"
"You are still sleeping?"
"……ah."
"Oh shit, you still have to do the dubbing. Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
"...Ah?...Uh, okay, I'll come right away, wait for me for twenty minutes."
Wang Sicong's voice became more sober.
"Twenty minutes is nothing. Hurry up. I've been waiting for you. I'll take the tram over in ten minutes at most."
After Xu Xin urged, he shook his head helplessly.
The time was set at 9 o'clock, which meant he dared to let go of his dove in an open and honest manner.
Then he said to the three people:
"Old Wang is jet-lagged and hasn't gotten up yet. I'll be here soon... It just so happens that you take advantage of this juncture to compare it with the plots you have acted."
Naturally, the three of them had no objections.
Today's job is to dub the voices of these main actors.
Other supporting roles or roles that are not important will be played tomorrow.
Let’s get the leading actors to come first. After all, they also have other work, so it’s not easy to delay for too long.
"33 Days" still has a lot of areas that require dubbing. Due to the location selection, there are a lot of flaws that need to be fixed, and they all need to be polished carefully.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the screening room.
"Enter."
Following Xu Xin's words, a young man who looked very familiar to him walked in holding some information folders.
"Director Xu, here are two scripts. The Art Creation Center asked me to send them to you."
When they heard the "script", the three people's ears perked up.
Xu Xin nodded:
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Has the director been found?"
"Not yet. Mr. Qi wants you to review it first. If there are any areas that need improvement, just mark them to us and the screenwriting team will make changes. Once the script is qualified, we will start recruiting directors and actors."
After hearing what this young man said, Xu Xin understood the meaning and nodded:
"okay, I get it."
"Director Xu, goodbye teachers."
Ma Shuangming withdrew politely.
And Xu Xin never remembered where he had seen him...
But it doesn't matter.
There was nothing else to do at the moment, so he casually opened the script of "Partners" and took a look.
The last time he saw this story, he remembered that he hadn't gotten Yu Minhong's authorization yet. But now it seems... it should be done.
While he was reading the script, Wen Zhang glanced at the two people next to him vaguely.
Si Wei was fine...looking down at the script.
Tang Yan's eyes were obviously the same as his own...they were all staring at Director Xu.
When Wen Zhang turned his head, Tang Yan also saw him turn his head.
"..."
"..."
The two of them didn't communicate, but they looked at each other and seemed to understand what the other was thinking.
Then comes a very critical step.
Who speaks?
In other words...who goes first, who dares to speak?
Although this kind of thing is not a taboo in the industry, the director has a book in his hand, and as an actor, if you are interested, you can ask... We are all friends personally, and we are also partners in business... It's okay.
Can……
Inexplicably, neither of them dared.
I want the other person to speak first.
After looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes, Wen Zhang was finally "defeated".
"Ahem... Director Xu, what's the story of the script in your hand?"
Hearing this, Xu Xin raised his head.
After looking at Wen Zhang, he smiled and said:
"For the moment... it's the story of New Oriental Yu Minhong. Half autobiography, half fiction. What? Interested?"
Hearing this, Wen Zhang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"That's for sure. Director Xu, which actor is not interested in the script you like?"
"Well...haha, that's not true."
Xu Xin smiled and put down "Partner" temporarily, patted the folder of "Youth" and said:
"These two scripts are both scripts from the Art Creation Center. Do you understand the system of the Art Creation Center?"
"Well……"
Seeing Wen Zhang stuck, Xu Xin got the answer.
In fact, it is understandable.
Shanghai Film Studio values profits, so their resources fall under the "highest bidder gets it" model.
We will not deliberately tie a certain actor into our circle, and if there is a need for certain productions, we will not only look for people from the Shanghai circle.
Whoever can drive box office profits can come.
To be continued...
