Leonardo's event on Wednesday isn't just USC.

After leaving the University of Southern California at five o'clock, he went to the next guest show under the arrangement of his assistant, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that he returned to his temporary residence in Los Angeles.

And for him, today, it is still a few shows that he took time to participate in during the filming of the next movie "Hoover", and even arranged the promotional activities of the film "Inception", which was filmed last year and is about to be released.

At the end of the day, it's no easier than on the set of Hollywood's toughest director.

In fact, a superstar like him, standing at such a height, is getting busier and busier, and he rarely even has leisure time.

Lie on the pillow at night and fall asleep directly.

When he woke up early in the morning, he went to the gym again and began his daily fitness activities to keep his body in shape and be active.

Next to him, the assistant brought him breakfast, and at the same time, began to introduce him to today's activities.

And the business car was parked outside, and when he finished training and washing, he was directly pulled to the set or the next commercial event.

It's been like this for decades.

"Kate, I remember you know Chinese, right?"

Leonardo, who was doing strength training, suddenly turned his head and said to Kate, his assistant who was chattering.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Kate looked at him.

Leonardo said: "In my school bag, there is a Chinese book, about performance theory, take advantage of this, you translate and translate that book for me? Don't read those activity processes, it's annoying to listen!"

"Oh well. ”

Kate shrugged her shoulders, put down the folder in her hand, and pulled out the book with the plastic seal from her bag.

Unwrapping the plastic package, she looked at the title of the book on it, and translated: "The Self-cultivation of Actors", the title of this book is quite interesting. Oh, this author ......"

Seeing the author's name, Kate was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Leonardo wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at her.

Kate didn't speak, but opened the author's introduction on the cover page, looked at the text inside, and couldn't help but be a little amazed: "It's him!"

"Who?"

Leonardo looked at her helplessly, "Kate, who are you talking about?

"The author of this book is an oriental musician. ”

Kate looked at him, "His name is Lin Bao, and he is very popular with the people of the whole country in the Eastern Country. He gave a course on classical music, and now on YouTube, the number of plays is almost 300 million! And he is also very talented in music composition, have you heard the music "The mass?"

"The mass? ”

Leonardo thought for a moment, "Did he create it?"

"Yes, this is the only piece of music composed by the Orient that has been performed at the Musikverein in Vienna so far, and it was performed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra around May this year. ”

Speaking of Limbao, Kate seems to be very familiar, "and he also has a talent for playing top instruments." On that occasion at the Musikverein, he even composed a violin piece at the door of the Musikverein. ”

"Oh, create on the spot?"

Leonardo looked surprised, "Is it so powerful?"

Keith nodded: "Yes, that violin song is called "My Heart Is Eternal". ”

"I think I've heard Director Cameron say this before!"

Leonardo said suddenly.

"Yes, Director Cameron said that the style of this music is very consistent with the entire movie style of "Titanic", so if there is a re-release in the future, when it is screened in the Oriental Country, I will consider cooperating with this musician called Lin Bao. ”

Kate said.

"But what does this have to do with performance theory?"

Leonardo was a little strange.

Kate glanced at the preface and the recommendations of dozens of people and said: "The book says that this Lin Bao not only has a deep study in pop music, classical music, and oriental classical opera, but also has his own views and opinions on performance theory. It's the theory in this book.

Moreover, the book was actually first serialized on the Internet, and it was serialized for almost a year. During this period, there was a very ordinary actor, just because he read this book and then had the opportunity to communicate with the author face-to-face, his acting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he directly entered the 10-million-level cinema film project of a film and television company in the East. ”

"Is it so powerful?"

Leonardo One Pleasure.

This is simply a professional-level trick.

In the world of commercial publishing, and even, including in the Hollywood film and television industry, there is often this kind of thing, using a gimmick, or a bluffing reputation, and then pit a large number of consumers, or investors.

And, usually, the people who set up this kind of bureau are outsiders.

"Kate, at the front of the book, are there many recommendations from people who look very good?"

Leonardo said.

"Not bad. ”

Kay nodded.

Leonardo smiled faintly.

Looking at it this way, this book, in all aspects, is simply a collection of all kinds of gimmicks.

It's that kind of gimmick book without a doubt.

Moreover, he himself absolutely does not believe it, let alone an oriental musician, even those oriental directors have absolutely no ability, even time, to systematically write such a professional-level film and television book.

"Then I'll read the text to you?"

Kate looked at him.

"Forget it. ”

Leonardo waved his hand, knowing this, he didn't have much interest now.

After completing the last set of training, he asked Kate to wait outside, went inside to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, ate breakfast again, went out together, got into the business car, and started today's activities.

As soon as she got in the car, Kate answered a phone call and then looked at Leonardo: "Your "Daily Show" tonight may be postponed for a week. ”

"Why?"

"I heard that Director Underwood was going to be on temporarily, so I adjusted the time. ”

Leonardo shrugged, he didn't care.

Anyway, in the face of so many business activities every day, he has become numb. Even, I wish I had a few fewer games, so that I could have time to catch my breath.

"I remember, Director Underwood has a new film that has been released recently, right?"

Leonardo said suddenly.

Kai nodded: "Yes, "Star Adventure King", which was released in Canada a month ago, should be broadcast in the East now." However, I heard that I encountered a local small-budget hit movie in the East, so the overall box office performance was not good, so there was a queue for tonight's "Daily Show......"

"Oh?"

Leonardo couldn't help asking, "It was sniped by an oriental movie, or is it a small-budget movie, what is it called?"

He is in Hollywood, and naturally he also knows some blockbuster plans of various production companies.

This time, "Star Adventurer" is a big plan of a big Hollywood producer in the East, co-production, not only the investment of the East, but also the traffic actors of the East, and the entire Oriental market is also the main battlefield of the movie.

Unexpectedly, he was sniped.

Moreover, it is still a small-budget movie.

This kind of thing, I'm afraid it is in Hollywood, and it is only something that can be done by that witch movie ten years ago!

"It seems to be called ......"

Kate searched on her phone, "Crazy Stone." ”

"Crazy Stone? What a strange name......"

Leonardo was a little helpless, "Did you talk about the stone into a fine?"

"It's a movie about the theft of gems, a comedy, with less than 20 million publicity, and now the box office in the East has exceeded 1.5 billion...... Wait!"

Kate glanced at Google, and suddenly became familiar with the introduction of this movie, "That, Leon, can you show me the book in your bag?"

"The acting book?"

Leonardo pulled the book out of his bag.

Kate opened the preface, and inside, it was indeed a mention of the movie "Crazy Stone".

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with this book?"

Leonardo, who was next to him, couldn't help but ask.

"There is a mention in the preface of this book that "Crazy Stone", you remember what I just said, there is a dragon actor, because after reading this book, he became one of the protagonists of 10 million theater films. is a character in this movie, and, looking at the comments on the Internet, he has been very popular in the Eastern Country for a while now!"

Kate said, "Moreover, it is said that the director of this "Crazy Stone" invited this author called Lin Bao directly at the premiere of the movie, and also recommended the book on the spot. ”

"Is that so?"

Leonardo was a little surprised, "Could it be that this book is really good?"

He remembered that the expression on his face when he recommended this book to himself at the University of Southern California yesterday seemed to express his reverence and love for the book and the author.

Leonardo thought for a moment and said, "Then Kate, you can take advantage of the time on the road to translate this book for me!"

"Good. ”

Kate then began to give Leonardo a preface and translate the contents of the book.

In fact, when I really read it, especially at the text stage, Kate found that the Chinese characters used in the whole book were very easy to understand.

There is neither the obscure complexity or even the subtle semantics of the old Oriental countries, nor is there much to do with the terminology of performance.

Moreover, it seems to be a very scene-based text, and when she turns it through, she herself basically doesn't have to spend too much time figuring out the words, so she still reads it very smoothly.

And Leonardo, who was next to him, had some doubts about the content of the book at first. However, after listening to the introduction of the content of the whole book and the background of creation in the preface, starting from the main text, he sat there and listened to it at once.

It wasn't until the driver reminded that the destination had arrived, and the assistant and star who read and listened to it suddenly came out of the content of the book.

"Have you arrived?"

Leonardo's mind moved away from the contents of the book and looked at the scene outside the car.

I remember it was a half-hour drive, but I felt like it was only a blink of an eye, and I arrived?

Kate, who was next to her, looked at the pages of the book, and in the past half an hour, she had translated more than forty pages for Leonardo.

Somewhat reluctant to get out of the car, Leonardo said seriously to the assistant next to him: "Kate, you can bring this book, and if you have time, continue to help me translate." ”

"No problem. ”

Kay nodded.

She could feel how attentive Leonardo was listening to the book.

Although Leonardo was originally a person who was extremely focused on everything, this is one of the reasons why he was able to succeed and continue to be successful. However, it is clear that his attitude towards the content of this book is a little different.

Even, some cautious attitude.

Kate doesn't have much experience with acting theory herself.

However, Leonardo has been playing roles since he was five years old, and after so many years of studying acting with so many famous Hollywood directors, he naturally has a deep understanding of the theory of actors.

From his seriousness, Kate understood that this book might really be very something.

Is it really like the book says, this is a systematic summary of performance theory?

Such a work was actually written by a musician in the East?

And, it seems, this musician is only less than thirty years old, or even twenty-five years old?

......

At the end of October, the National Day box office battle has basically been seen.

"Interstellar Adventure King", which invested more than 100 million yuan, finally stopped at 1.9 billion at the domestic box office, with a Douban score of 6.5.

At the beginning, only a quarter of the former's film was scheduled, and "Crazy Stone", which sprung up later, on the last day of October, after the joint efforts of domestic audiences, finally surpassed the box office of "Star Adventure King" and entered the 2 billion yuan club.

At the same time, it is also the first domestic movie to break one billion.

It directly exceeded 2 billion.

The Douban score finally stayed at 8.4 points.

Things like key extensions have become a matter of course.

And Gu Hao, who is a quasi-newcomer director, and several actors who were not famous before, also became popular all of a sudden.

Especially Fang Bo, before the start of filming, he was the lowest-status actor in the entire crew, but after the film was released, his popularity skyrocketed in an instant. Not only is the performance the most eye-catching among the several actors in the crew, but it is also appreciated by countless media and film critics without hesitation.

It can be said that it became an overnight hit.

An actor who can have such earth-shaking changes in a year can definitely be said to be a legend.

All of a sudden, Fang Bo became the idol of all the actors and actresses who are still floating in various film and television bases in China.

At the same time, what is constantly mentioned is the book "Self-cultivation of Actors" that Lin Bao suddenly announced at the end of September.

It is precisely because of this book that Fang Bo can have such a fame and status as he is now.

At the same time, Gu Hao also said at the event many times that he learned a lot of things from this book, including this "Crazy Stone", there are many things, which are inseparable from Lin Bao's exchange experience on the Internet.

The sales of the book "Actor's Self-cultivation" on various e-commerce platforms on the whole network, including various physical stores, basically showed a continuous upward trend in October.

Until the end of October, Fang Bo, who had become a favorite of various top entertainment companies, suddenly announced that he had signed a contract with Lin Bao Studio.

It further confirms the help and influence of Lin Bao and this book on him personally.

Almost on the day the news came out, the sales of "Actor's Self-cultivation" skyrocketed.

Until November 1st, Zheng Rong, who was sitting in the music square and in her new office, got the final October sales data.

As of 0:00 on November 1st, "The Self-cultivation of Actors" has sold 230,000 copies on the whole network!

Following this trend, within a year, the number of copies sold will definitely exceed 1 million, and it will be promoted to the rank of super bestseller!

From today onwards, in front of Lin Bao's name, you can add one more, a super best-selling author!

Of course, for Zheng Rong, bestsellers are not the ultimate goal.

Lin Bao's book is a performance theory book that has been initially recognized by the market.

If there is a chance, to be able to raise it to textbook level, is what the next step, the studio, and she needs to push with all her might.

Although it is said that in the domestic academic circles, there are very strong xenophobic conventions for professional academic works, I believe that with the current results of "Actor's Self-cultivation", coupled with the recommendation of first-line directors like Gu Hao and first-line actors like Fu Ge, this book will definitely be able to break through this limit!
