Chapter 305 Chazelle: You Make Me Feel Like a Clown

After two readers' meetings in two days, Chen Xiao returned home to rest.

After staying for a few days, we headed straight to the North Pole.

Two months later, on the morning of May 7th.

Chen Xiao walked out of Boston Logan International Airport in Country M.

As a screenwriter, step into the nanny van sent by the crew of "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

Chazelle found a piece of land in the suburbs of Boston and built an exquisite hotel building. It took until the beginning of the year to apply for permits and hire architects to start shooting, and I don’t know when it will be completed.

If there is time, it would be best to capture Chazelle and take care of the Slytherin actor.

After filming starts, he will be very busy as the chief director.

But there were so many children on site, and the directors had to communicate with them.

Slytherin is ambitious, shrewd, and values ​​honor. But students tend to be a bit arrogant. It is difficult for actors to perform this kind of effect when they are so young. It is best to find children who can act in their true colors.

Fang Rong and Sun Li seemed unable to control these Slytherins. After thinking about it, Chazelle was the most suitable.

Just when I thought of this, the nanny car slowly stopped at the intersection.

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw a group of children in cloaks crossing the road.

I didn’t feel much change in the inaccessible natural scenic spots, but in the big cities I clearly felt the influence of “Harry Potter”.

According to Chi Yu, in the past two months, although people from all walks of life have not found the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

But everyone doesn’t want to give up this wave of traffic.

In the field of clothing and accessories, cloaks are selling like hot cakes. The group of children across the street must have been affected by this trend.

In the catering field, sales of some of the foods featured in the book have also increased rapidly.

Educational institutions use "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in other languages ​​as teaching materials to develop foreign language reading courses, creative writing courses, etc.

As long as the IP is not infringed blatantly, such as using the IP to make games, Oriental Media will have nothing to do with it.

After all, these activities also help to increase popularity and keep readers interested.

Chen Xiao yawned.

However, work should be done while the iron is hot.

It’s been almost three months since the novel was published, and it’s almost time to announce the filming news.

The company has set up a project team, formulated a budget, and formed a production team.

He has also sent some scene pictures to art director Wang Rui and asked him to find a suitable venue and prepare costumes and props.

In terms of formalities, the script has passed review and the project application has been approved.

However, no application for co-production has been made.

Wait until he finishes talking to Chazelle.

Another half hour later, the car stopped at the door of a light pink building.

Chen Xiao looked up at the building and sighed in his heart:

It’s really not wrong to take pictures of Chazelle.

As expected of having obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It was really cut out bit by bit according to the script. Not an ordinary image.

There are a lot of symmetrical shots in this movie

Hiss - the crew and crew were not driven crazy, were they?

But there is also an advantage. With such a hotel, you don’t have to leave after get off work, you can just stay right there, right?

A staff member came out and said, "Director Chen, please come with me."

Chen Xiao followed him to the restaurant lobby.

There were many actors and staff members eating in the lobby, and everyone immediately stood up to say hello when they saw him.

Walk through the lobby and enter an elegant box.

Chazelle waved and said hello in Chinese that was more fluent than before: "Hello, great screenwriter, you are here. Order whatever you want to eat."

With that said, Chazelle handed him a menu. The cover is made of high-grade brown leather with exquisite embossed patterns.

Chen Xiao took the menu, placed it on the seat, and pulled out the chair.

Since it's Boston, then...

"Want some lobster?" Chen Xiao said as he sat down.

"No."

"That ham soup? I read online that it's a classic Boston dish, so it must be true."

"No."

"What about honey baked beans? They're also a special dish, right?"

Chazelle rolled his eyes and imitated Fang Rong's tone and said, "Young Master, is there a possibility that this is the crew restaurant?"

"Then give me this menu." Chen Xiao frowned slightly and opened it.

Pasta, mashed potatoes, green salad, bread…

Damn, what does this feel like?

In China, it is a luxurious menu with a whole gilded version, which reads:

Leek dumplings, pickled cabbage buns, fish-flavored shredded pork rice.

"So you asked me to come to the restaurant to meet..."

"It's dinner time and I'm hungry."

"..."

It’s been too long since I last saw you, and I forgot that this person is very independent.

"I understand the ways of the world, but I still have to shoot in the afternoon, so let's have something to eat first. I'll treat you to the oldest restaurant in the evening."

Chen Xiao casually ordered pasta and mashed potatoes.

Chazelle picked up the tablet, "Are you still wandering around?"

"Well, I just went to Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia."

It is the largest salt marsh in the world and is known as the Land of the Sky. After rain, the lake acts like a mirror, reflecting the sky.

Chazelle smiled and said, "You don't work hard enough. Let me show you a video."

With that said, he handed over the tablet.

Chen Xiao took the tablet and pressed the play button.

This is an excerpt from a cartoon. It is said that a substitute teacher came to the school. He has long black hair, a sickly pale face, deep and cold eyes, and a hooked nose.

This is a bit like Snape.

This person left after appearing for more than a minute. To this extent it can only be said to be a tribute.

Chen Xiao returned the tablet to Chazelle, "A tribute to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?"

"Well, this is a cartoon currently being broadcast by Pinnacle Entertainment. The latest episode pays tribute to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Can you see how popular this novel is?"

"It's pretty hot."

"You were involved in the past few years, and the market iteration is very fast. If you leave for a long time, your market sensitivity will also decrease. When you get older, your energy and status will decline. When you are young, it is best to be more diligent. ”

"Well, I plan to get back to work."

"Or making a movie?" Chazelle stirred the coffee and picked up the cup.

"right."

"What are you going to take pictures of?"

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

"Yeah." Chazelle calmly took a sip of coffee. As soon as he drank it, he was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Two seconds later, he coughed violently, covered his mouth with a tissue, and looked up in disbelief.

"Harry Potter? Where did it come from?"

As soon as the words came out, a flash of electricity suddenly flashed through Cha Zelle's mind. He stared at Chen Xiao and asked slowly:

"Wait, you're not Dylan, the owl, are you?"

Chen Xiao shrugged and smiled slightly.

He is not afraid that Chazelle will speak out.

The identity cannot be concealed. Oriental Media will announce the filming this month. Even if he refuses to admit it, various companies will still think that he is Dylan.

Chazelle raised his hand to cover his forehead and rolled his eyes.

Damn, it’s so annoying!

I don’t want to eat with him anymore.

What to eat mashed potatoes? I want to grab a bowl of mashed potatoes and slam it on his face!

Think about it, in January, I called him specifically to tell him that he was going to have a terrible opponent, damn!

Are there any seams on the ground? I really want to drill it.

I feel like a clown!

Sure enough, people shouldn't meddle in other people's business.

what to do? Why can't the earth suddenly crack open? say what?

Hey, wait.

It suddenly occurred to me that I saw a student's composition on the Huaxia website yesterday, and there was a famous quote in it.

Yesterday he was still wondering why Mr. Lu Xun would say such straightforward words as "As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Today it seems that it really makes sense, and he is worthy of being a master.

Jump directly to the topic!

He said seriously: "Well, as expected of you. So you came here this time because you want the actor resources of New Era Pictures, right?"
