Chapter 436
It seemed that Mother Li had long been accustomed to this living environment. She pressed the heads of her two daughters, especially Li Li Jiaxin's, letting her lower her head and pass through the corridor to enter her own home.
However, before entering the room, Li Li Jiaxin looked up at Wei Ming's direction. She had seen many men who patronized this place, but this was the first time she had seen one so handsome and not lecherous.
Going downstairs, Wei Ming saw an Indian selling snakes. His skin was dark, and he wore glasses.
Wei Ming immediately stopped to watch: "Are these snakes poisonous?"
"These are not. If you want poisonous snakes, I can also get cobras." The Indian pushed his glasses.
"No, no," Wei Ming asked again, "Are they under control? I am a director. I need to use an obedient snake when filming."
The Indian said: "Aren't you a writer?"
Wei Ming said "Holy crap" in his heart.
"You know me?"
"I like to read books and watch newspapers," the Indian took a copy of "District 9" from under his butt, and then asked Wei Ming, "How do you need them to be obedient?"
Wei Ming: "The snake circles around once and opens its mouth to bite its own tail."
The Indian shook his head and said: "I have also seen this situation, but I don't know why they do this, and I don't know how to make them do this."
"Alright." Wei Ming stood up. It seems he could only ask Old Gui.
It wasn't early anymore. Let's look at Wedding Card Street tomorrow. We still have to rent two houses to decorate. It's estimated that it will be difficult to start filming in these two days.
Wei Ming sent the three big men home and gave Zhang Zhang Yimou and the others some cash, letting them watch movies in their spare time, remember where they lived, and don't get lost.
Returning to Old Gui's place, Wei Ming found that A-Min was also there. She was still waiting for Wei Ming.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Wei Ming: "Scouting locations. In the afternoon, I also went to the hospital to visit the injured Cheng..."
As he was speaking, Wei Ming saw a little girl with thin legs wearing a short skirt.
"Xiao Hong?"
Zhou Zhou Huimin said proudly: "Can't you even recognize her!"
Wei Hong stretched her skirt a bit awkwardly. In fact, the skirt wasn't short, reaching her knees, it was just a bit flashy, not the simple blue and green style of the mainland.
Plus A-Min had transformed her from head to toe and even did her hair, making Xiao Hong feel like she didn't recognize herself, and she was very unaccustomed to it.
Wei Ming thought it was quite good.
"This is what a little girl should look like. Special praise to A-Min. You even know how to help people dress up."
Lin Ni immediately jumped out to take credit: "A-Min's dressing up was also taught by me. How would she know before?"
Wei Ming suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. No wonder, no wonder."
So this style of A-Min and Xiao Hong should be considered Taiwanese-style fresh, right?
Wei Hong: "Then Brother, take a picture of me."
Zhou Zhou Huimin immediately hugged Wei Hong: "Take a picture of the two of us."
After taking the picture, A-Min had to leave. Wei Ming sent her downstairs to go home.
However, A-Min didn't press the eighth floor, but pressed the first floor: "Let's take a walk before going back. It's still early."
"Still early? It's already past nine."
A-Min: "You know that too. I waited for you for three hours. If I had known you were busy until so late today, I should have been with you."
"It's a good thing you weren't with us. Today we went to scout locations at a nightclub. It's a mess in there. Girls should go less."
"Ah? You still have to film in that kind of place?" A-Min looked suspicious. Is this filming something serious?
"Filming, after all, can be shot in any place. We are only shooting a short film, after all. If the budget were high, we could directly build a nightclub."
"Hmm, that's true." A-Min quickly accepted this theory. Then she would follow Sister Hong to play the stock market. She was looking forward to Monday, but tomorrow was Sunday.
"Then do you have to be busy tomorrow?" she asked.
Wei Ming: "Tomorrow I still have to look at the venue, determine the female lead, rent equipment, and recruit people. There's a lot to be busy with. Don't wait for me at night."
"Then Sister Hong and I will go record a song tomorrow, "Pink Memories.""
"A-Min, sing another one for me."
Zhou Zhou Huimin looked around. No one passed by. Only then did she slowly twist and sing lightly in front of him. It was indeed much more natural than the first time, very playful and cute.
The next day, Wei Ming went to Madman Comics. Xu Xu Jinjiang and the three of Zhang Zhang Yimou had already gathered there.
Wei Ming thought for a while: "Come with me."
Today they were going to visit Ms. Hai Xia Meng. After meeting, they first explained the origin.
"I didn't expect you to adapt this novel yourself. It's really courageous. I like that work very much. I look forward to seeing your presentation. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Wei Ming laughed: "The short film I'm shooting now needs a female lead, so I want to ask about Ye Tong's pay now?"
"You asked the right person," Hai Xia Meng said, "In the first half of the year, we collaborated on another movie. The female lead was also Ye Tong, and it was her first movie after winning the Golden Statue Award. I gave her 150,000. The male lead was Leslie Cheung, and I gave him 200,000."
"150,000." Wei Ming touched his chin. Then for this short film of his, according to the time needed for shooting, 50,000 was relatively reasonable, a bit expensive.
"But you don't have to worry about the pay. Ye Tong is very grateful to you. She should give you a friendship price."
"What movie is this?" Wei Ming asked curiously. He remembered that Qingniao had a total of three movies in his past life.
Hai Xia Meng said: "It's Director Patrick Tam's new film "Nomad." You came at the right time. It just finished filming recently. I'll help you contact her agent."
Wei Ming nodded. It seems Qingniao was also very different from the past life. Having earned money, there was a possibility of growing stronger.
However, after Hai Xia Meng finished the call, she regretfully told Wei Ming: "She went to Europe for vacation after filming. Even if you find her, it will take some time and luck."
Wei Ming: "Alright, then are there any other suitable actresses in this "Nomad" of yours?"
"It's a coincidence," Hai Xia Meng told Wei Ming, "The other female lead in the crew is the same age as Ye Tong, and her figure is also similar. Her name is Xia Wenxi. I'll show you a photo."
Wei Ming thought to himself, sure enough, it's her. Wei Ming had seen this Leslie Cheung movie, and it was also Ye Tong's debut in the original time and space.
Although Xia Wenxi also had a slender figure, her body was much more alluring than Teacher Ye Tong's.
"An Amorous Woman of Tang Dynasty" is the eternal god!
This time, they made contact. Xia Wenxi had time, and after hearing it was Wei Ming, the legendary Wei Ming, she expressed a strong willingness to cooperate.
So Wei Ming made an appointment with her to meet at a time and place.
Xia Wenxi was 19 years old this year. She was mainly a model now, and her temperament was relatively cold.
"Nomad" was her first time touching electricity. She really had to thank Ye Tong for going to Europe for vacation. Otherwise, how could this opportunity fall on her head? This was the female lead of a great writer's directorial debut.
