Liu Haoran

Chapter 40 Filming

Xia Weiliang found that time has passed very quickly since entering 2016.

Not much has passed yet, 2017 is here again, looking at the calendar I bought with Haoran in the supermarket some time ago, Xia Weiliang can't help but feel emotional, where did her youth go.

It may also be because her rhythm was suddenly accelerated.

Since the success of <The Room>, Director John seemed to have an epiphany. His filmmaking techniques, techniques, and concepts have risen to the sky in one step, and he has been promoted to the status of a major Hollywood director.

Logically speaking, these things have nothing to do with Xia Weiliang, but director John felt that this good luck was brought by Xia Weiliang, so he invited Xia Weiliang to act in every film, often as the second female lead.

In this way, the applause of the movie in turn deepened Director John's belief that Xia Weiliang was her goddess of happiness, and asked Xia Weiliang to participate in every movie.

Even if the audience didn't know Xia Weiliang anymore, and they were blind to Asians, they would still be familiar with Xia Weiliang after being bombarded by several movies. After a few best supporting roles.

Now Xia Weiliang's Baidu Encyclopedia is like this: Xia Weiliang, female, a student in the Department of Chinese Theater Directing, an internationally renowned actor, participating works, etc.

Xia Weiliang expressed that she had a headache.

I am a director, not an actor. Why have I achieved international fame as an actor, but my career as a director is still blank. Even though I am still a third-year student, I don’t have the need or requirement to make movies.

But Xia Weiliang was not reconciled, and remembered the similar script she had prepared, so she decided to shoot her graduation project ahead of schedule, a movie. When she told Liu Hao the news, Liu Haoran was very surprised:

"Are you going to shoot now?" Graduation works are usually prepared for shooting in the senior year. Although some people do start to prepare in the third year, they are limited to collecting materials, writing scripts and so on.I've never seen anything so bold.

Liu Haoran has honed his acting skills for so many years, both in temperament and demeanor are much more handsome than before.

"Yes, I can't take it anymore, as a director, how can I do without a masterpiece."

"Aren't you already an internationally renowned actor? You're even more famous than me. Why do you want a masterpiece?"

Liu Haoran joked that he didn't expect Xia Weiliang to reach that level, and he had to agree that some people are naturally lucky.

But he is not jealous, after all, he has also seen how crazy Xia Weiliang is in order to play a good role.

"You still say this, what I want is an internationally renowned director." Xia Weiliang went crazy.

"Okay, I will pay for what you want to shoot, who you want, and how much money you want." Liu Haoran patted his chest.

"It's fine if you go out, if you go to the street and can't get it back, you can save your money for the elderly, but you can play a guest role." Xia Weiliang previously counted the money earned from filming for the past two years plus Investment should be enough.

"Is there an appearance fee?"

"Give one piece, come or not."

"Come on, come on, how dare you not come to my wife's movie? Even if it is hacked by the whole network, scolded by fans, and ridiculed by filmmakers all over the country as box office poison, I am obliged to go through fire and water, actively and without hesitation. Jumping in without thinking about your own safety." Liu Haoran said nastyly.

"Hey, you've passed it, my movie shouldn't be so bad." Xia Weiliang didn't think so, although she had already shown it to the counselor, and got approval and support, but theory is theory after all, how does it work in practice? I don't know.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the money earned from being an actor supported Xia Weiliang's dream of being a director.

Sure enough, after hearing that Xia Weiliang was planning to make a movie by himself, Director John generously expressed that he covered all the expenses, and Xia Weiliang could use his own equipment, venue, and Xia Weiliang for free.Xia Weiliang decided to share the profits of the movie as a reward after several rejections to no avail.

But Director John obviously looked down on these little money, and he refused with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Xia Weiliang deeply felt the charm of Qian's father.

The funds, equipment, and venue have been settled.

Then there are the actors.

Who are you looking for?

As a soft sci-fi film, it is similar to the adult fairy tale movie of the little prince, and it is also a bit similar to the fantasy drifting of the boy, the sense of youth is very important.

"Aren't I old?" Liu Haoran felt aggrieved.

"You, you're old, uncle." Of course it was a joke, but Liu Haoran's aura didn't suit Xia Weiliang's expectations, and it would easily break the overall aesthetic of the movie, but it was more than enough to play other roles.

"Then I recommend Wu Lei, how about it." Liu Haoran was reading the script, and it really didn't suit him.

"Wu Lei?" Xia Weiliang thought for a while, and thought it was okay, full of youthful feeling, and a high degree of fit.

"Well, Wu Lei, the heroine is Li Randi, how about it?"

Xia Weiliang thought it was good, both of them fit the roles quite well.

"Okay, then you give me the contact information, and I will contact them."

"Let me do it, which company is your distributor affiliated with?" Some agents will look at the size and reputation of the film distribution company to decide whether to accept a movie, although the most important thing is the script.

"It's about the giant company directed by John, what's wrong?"

Liu Haoran should have thought of it a long time ago, as for Director John's protective personality who takes Xia Weiliang very seriously, he will definitely do everything well and escort him.

Now I still can't forget that when Xia Weiliang went to England to accept the award, he and Weiliang walked together. On the one hand, they wanted to go on a trip together, and on the other hand, there was a fashion week there.

Director John, George, and Mary took turns to "interrogate" Liu Haoran, but luckily passed the test in the end.

"It's nothing, then you're probably safe." Liu Haoran felt that Xia Weiliang's problem was not serious this time, no matter how bad it was, the big Buddha standing behind him didn't have any effect.

"Hello, Wu Lei?"

"It's me, what's wrong with brother Haoran?"

"Uh, that's it. Your sister Xia Weiliang is going to make a movie, and then she wants to invite you to play the male lead. Is it convenient for you to watch?"

"Sister Weiliang! Why is she making movies instead of filming? Has she changed careers?" Wu Lei was very surprised.

Because it was convenient for Xia Weiliang to hear the conversation, Liu Haoran played it outside.

Xia Weiliang was at the side silently supporting his head and asking Qingtian.

"Sister Wei Liang is a director, isn't it? What kind of line do you want to change? I'll send you the script later, and you can discuss it with your agent and company." Liu Haoran thinks it's better to end the conversation as soon as possible.

"Okay, brother Haoran, I'll do it as soon as possible."

This did not happen to Li Landi, so he agreed without hesitation, but he still had to discuss it with the manager.

There was no big surprise, both of them chose to take part in the role. After the male and female protagonists were confirmed, and the supporting roles and extras arrived, Xia Weiliang officially started the first movie in her life.

In the next few months, Xia Weiliang fully got over her addiction to being a director, vented her feelings about being an actor in the past two years, and also understood why Director John likes to give plays to actors so much, because this feeling is very refreshing.
