Chapter 624 The Twelve Angry Men Are All Old Drama Bones

"Twelve Angry Men?"

Looking at the title of the script on the computer, Yang Mi was taken aback.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "That's right!"

In fact, there are still many classic works on the earth, which do not exist in this world, including this "Twelve Angry Men".

This movie is a work from the 50s. It mainly tells about a child who became a suspect in the murder of his father.

The jury consists of twelve people analyzing the case in the waiting room, and the verdict can only be formally decided after all members come to a unanimous conclusion.

This is where the excitement of the story lies. Eleven people voted guilty with a show of hands, and only one thought the child was innocent, and finally completed the reversal.

Although there is only one scene in this movie, the tight rhythm, tense atmosphere and superb acting skills of the actors have pushed this movie to the altar.

A certain website gave "Twelve Angry Men" a super high score of 9.4, and even the remake of "Twelve Citizens" based on this movie also got a score of 8.3.

Zhang Xiao plans to send out two versions of this movie, one based on "Twelve Angry Men" and the other based on "Twelve Citizens".

With his SSS directing skills, he will definitely be able to shoot them into classics.

Yang Mi asked: "Then when will you be able to finish writing?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The foreign language version has already been written, and the domestic version will be finished soon."

When Yang Mi heard that the foreign language version had been written, she immediately became interested, and said to Zhang Xiao: "Then I'll take a look first, and you can take the children to play!"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, then take a look, there is a translator next to it."

···
Half an hour later.

After Yang Mi finished reading the script, she went downstairs to find Zhang Xiao, and said to him, "Husband, you are simply a genius. One case connected twelve people of different professions together, and the whole story was full of contradictions." The suspense and ups and downs are amazing!"

Zhang Xiao asked with a smile: "Then how much do you rate this script?"

Yang Mi thought about it seriously, and said: "If I find a suitable actor, I will give it at least 9 points."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "For my movie, the actors must be the best."

"When will the shooting be?" Yang Mi asked impatiently.

Zhang Xiao thought for a while, and said: "After the Spring Festival, we will shoot the domestic version first, and then go to the Lighthouse Country to shoot the foreign version. At that time, I am going to attend the Oscar awards ceremony. I said that I will use "Forrest Gump". "Swept the Oscars, so we can't break our promise."

Yang Mi said playfully, "So confident?"

"That's a must!" Zhang Xiao said confidently, patting his chest.

That night, Zhang Xiao finished the domestic version of "Twelve Angry Men". After deliberating for a long time, he sent the script to Chen Daoming, and then called Teacher Li Xuejian.

"Zhang Xiao, what's the matter?"

"Ms. Li, after the Lantern Festival, I am going to shoot a movie. There is a character in it that suits you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh, what a coincidence for Zhang Xiao, I just accepted a movie, and it is estimated that it will start in March."

"It's okay, Mr. Li, my film is quite special, and it can be finished in ten days at most. I will send you the script first, and you will know after reading it. By the way, you are playing the role of juror No. [-]. Then An empty nester."

"Okay then, send it over!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao sent the script to Li Xuejian.

Now, for this movie, Zhang Xiao handed juror No. [-], the wealthy businessman, to Chen Daoming, juror No. [-], an empty-nest old man, to Li Xuejian, and then he contacted the veteran actors Han Tongsheng, Li Guangfu, Qian Bo, and Zhang Yongqiang. and others.

Most of them are actors of the Beijing Discourse Troupe, and they are very experienced. Several of them have acted in "Twelve Citizens" on Earth, which is quite exciting, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing them.

Of course, Zhang Xiao didn't forget the actors from Sunny Entertainment.

Among these roles, Juror No. [-], a law school assistant, and Juror No. [-], a gangster who has been unjustly imprisoned, were respectively given to Gao Weiguang and Guan Gu, the only remaining actors in Sunny Entertainment.

Han Tongsheng, Li Guangfu and others never expected that Zhang Xiao, No. 1 in the entertainment industry, would ask them to act in a play. Excited, they agreed without even reading the script.

Just as Zhang Xiao settled these roles, Chen Daoming called.

"Zhang Xiao, you are such a genius!"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, the whole world knows about this, so you don't need to praise me."

Chen Daoming was taken aback, and said: "You are not modest!"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, what do you think of this script?"

Chen Daoming said: "Use one scene to connect all the social strata. It's amazing. I'll give it 8.5 points. The remaining 1.5 points will depend on the ability of you, the director, and us actors. .”

"I've already found the actors." Zhang Xiao directly mentioned the list of actors who played each role, and said, "Mr. Chen, you are a regular visitor of the Beijing Repertory Theater Troupe, so you should be familiar with them!"

Chen Daoming laughed loudly and said, "Of course I'm no stranger, these guys' acting skills are very good. You can invite them here, which makes me more confident in this drama."

Zhang Xiaodao: "I will film this film from beginning to end, without changing the order at all. Teacher Chen, the time to show off your acting skills has come."

Chen Daoming hummed, and said, "I will prepare well!"

Compared to Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian read the script a lot slower, and it was not until noon the next day that he called Zhang Xiao back and agreed to act.

After learning that the cooperating actors were Han Tongsheng, Li Guangfu and others, Li Xuejian was also very satisfied.

Sunny Entertainment Inc.

Yang Mi handed over the script of "Twelve Angry Men" to Gao Weiguang and Guan Gu, saying: "This Spring Festival, you put down all the work you are doing and must prepare for your roles."

Gao Weiguang nodded and said, "Mimi, don't worry, we will."

Some time ago, he just played a very important role in "Zhu Xian". He didn't expect to be able to cooperate with Zhang Xiao again so soon, which made Gao Weiguang very happy.

Guan Gu asked curiously: "Sister Mimi, who are we playing opposite?"

Yang Mi said: "Besides my husband, there are also teachers Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Han Tongsheng, Li Guangfu..."

After Gao Weiguang and Guan Gu heard these names, their expressions became extremely solemn.

Although Han Tongsheng, Li Guangfu and others are far less famous than Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian, the two film kings, they are definitely the kings standing at the top of the pyramid on the stage of drama.

The two have watched their words more than once, and their acting skills are so good that they are breathtakingly good, and they are properly quasi-actors.

That is to say, they were unlucky. If they met a suitable star, there would be absolutely no problem with the Golden Cup Award for Best Actor.

At the thought of playing against this group of people, Gao Weiguang and Guan Gu immediately felt like Alexander.

"What? Are you scared?" Seeing that the two of them were standing there and didn't dare to speak, Yang Mi smiled playfully.

Gao Weiguang said with a wry smile: "It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid. These people are old actors, and they have acted in at least a thousand plays. When facing them, they are really nervous."
