She was more interested in her career as a director and producer than in her role as an actress.
There was a thick script lying quietly across from Qin Guan. Maybe it was because she was a female director, or because of the plot.
It was the most common custom book, but at this time, it was neatly punched with retro small holes and threaded with the most primitive silk thread. It was as simple and beautiful as a thread-bound book in the Republic of China.
On the cover of the script were a few lonely Chinese characters: A Letter from a Strange Woman.
It gave the script a sense of literature and art.
Xu Jinglei was the one who had to ask for help, so she had no choice but to be polite. "This is the first time we've met, Qin Guan. Sorry for taking the liberty to contact you. I have no choice but to meet you."
"I think you've seen the script I handed you earlier, right?"
Qin Guan nodded. "Yes."
"Actually, I asked Master Jiang Wen to act with me first. You know that I will be the director of the film. Of course, I wanted to learn more from him, as he is both a director and an actor.
"However, after Director Jiang Wen read the script, he sincerely told me that he was not suitable for the role. After all, my script was adapted from a foreign novel."
"And the male lead is the man that the female lead has been secretly in love with for twenty years. He is an out-and-out playboy."
"His unrestrained and charming nature is not something that can be portrayed with acting skills alone."
"To put it bluntly, the person who plays him must have the qualifications to be a heartthrob. Therefore, Senior Jiang Wen immediately recommended you to me. "
"He also said that in China, the only man who can play this role perfectly and not make the audience feel disgusted is you."
Qin Guan couldn't refute her compliment. He liked the touching feelings expressed in the script very much.
Qin Guan nodded naturally. "I'm the most idle person in the company. Thank you for your trust. I'll take the role."
It was just like how every woman had their own unique charm.
Xu Jinglei smiled quietly and elegantly at Qin Guan's affirmative answer. She looked like a blooming chrysanthemum in the wild.
Although it was the first time they had met, they seemed to be friends who had known each other for many years. There was an indescribable tacit understanding between them.
Now that he had decided on his first important itinerary, the whole studio started working on his itinerary.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Sister Xue was preparing for the French Fashion Week, which was one of the four fashion weeks in the world. Naturally, she had selected a capable assistant to take charge of Qin Guan's work.
Wang Liying was so happy that she almost fainted in the toilet when she received the notification from her leader.
Don't misunderstand, she was just too excited when she was showing off to her best friends in the bathroom.
Qin Guan's investment accounted for a quarter of the total investment, so the shooting officially started in Tianjin.
As a low-profile film producer, when they arrived at the shooting site, some sharp-eyed media people found traces of them.
As for the sealed filming location, the details of the film were like the most mysterious gift box, leaving outsiders scratching their heads.
This was Xu Jinglei's concept of hunger marketing. This was not a commercial film that was advertised everywhere. As a strong woman, her ambition was still very big.
She hoped to win two or three awards with the help of the film and Qin Guan's international influence. That was the only way to live up to her reputation as a talented woman.
Therefore, the camera was very quiet. It was also quiet in the Hutong District of Tianjin, which had been designated as a scenic spot.
Speaking of the Hutong in Tianjin, its history was not younger than the Hutong in the capital. The Hutong was built in the Ming Dynasty and was only marked in the Republic of China. It had more of the flavor of Tianjin City.
Because Tianjin was close to the sea, it had more water than the capital, and the climate was more pleasant. In addition, there was a canal in the city, so the hutong in this city was no longer a vassal of Tianjin, but had its own culture.
Under the setting sun, grass, trees, and ordinary alleys were strange.
The big Hutong was as wide as a road. The passage between the two pontoon bridges connected the hub of the three districts, so it was called a Hutong.
The narrow, long, winding alleys were less than one square meter in size. Qianlong had jokingly called them Eared Alleys, which were also called Hutong in Tianjin.
Of course, these were not the shooting locations chosen by the film crew. They were going to shoot the scenes in the ordinary old Tianjin area.
The boxy courtyard house, along with the large and miscellaneous houses next to it, constantly displayed the cultural atmosphere that belonged to the people of Tianjin.
The people of Tianjin were the most warm-hearted group. The props and machines that the crew had been setting up since the early morning didn't make them feel uncomfortable at all.
Some experienced men were able to deduce the era of the film based on the props and furniture they were carrying back and forth.
As the most experienced generation, they chewed on the soy milk and fruits they bought from the roadside shop while exchanging insights with the staff in charge of props. Instantly, the taste of breakfast and the unique Tianjin dialect surrounded the warm atmosphere of the entire crew.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Wang Liying dragged Qin Guan out of the hotel early in the morning. Her first rule as Qin Guan's agent was to not let him be late.
His hair was still messy. In less than two minutes, the makeup artist had combed it into a neat, slicked-back hairstyle.
He was wearing black boots, brown riding trousers, and a black aviator's jacket, which would not be out of style even in that era.
Then he put on a brown leather cap, made in Germany, with motorcycle goggles attached to it.
At first glance, he looked like an American pilot in the 1930s or 1940s. He looked so handsome with his leather gloves and jeans.
